Apart from this it also includes amazing feature of organising the code in different folders. As a result, time spent in writing and organising code will be greatly reduced. It is most powerful framework to develop complex web application.

     

    In this tutorial on CakePHP 3.x, I will be explainging you an overview on how the different concepts in cakePHP are implemented and what are the basic steps required to start the installation process of a CakePHP application on ubuntu operating system.


    Quick Steps to Implement and Install CakePHP 3.x Application on Ubuntu


    Minimum Requirements for installation:

    1. You should have PHP 5.5.9 or higher
    2. mbstring extension package
    3. intl extension package
    3. Web Server For example: Apache having mod_rewrite is recommended

     

    Lets start with the installation process


    Step 1.  Download and install the Composer by running the following command

    curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

     

    Step 2: Install intl and mbstring extension packages by running the following command

     

    sudo apt-get install php5-intl
    sudo apt-get install mcrypt php5-mcrypt
    sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

     

    Step 3: Edit php.ini file and add following lines

     

    extension = mcrypt.so
    extension = intl.so

     

    by running following commands

     

    sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
    sudo service apache2 restart

     

    Step 4: To get a new CakePHP application by running this command

     

    sudo php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist -s dev cakephp/app  Folder_Name


    Step 5: Always make sure the directories logs, tmp and all its subdirectories in your CakePHP installation(cakephp folder) are writable.

     

    Step 6: Go to phpmyadmin and create a database e.g:cakephp_3

     

    Step 7: Open Config/app.php and replace the values in the Datasources.default array with database details like database, username and password.

      

      'Datasources' => [
                'default' => [
                    'className' => 'Cake\Database\Connection',
                    'driver' => 'Cake\Database\Driver\Mysql',
                    'persistent' => false,
                    'host' => 'localhost',
                    'username' => 'root',
                    'password' => '',
                    'database' => 'cakephp_3',
                    'encoding' => 'utf8',
                    'timezone' => 'UTC',
                    'cacheMetadata' => true,
                    'quoteIdentifiers' => false,
                ],
        ]

     


    Step 8: Now go into your Application folder(eg:cake_project$ bin/cake server) and run

     

    bin/cake server

     

    This will make our application available at http://localhost:8765/. This code will make running the server, and if you want to exit then press

     

    CTRL + C
