CakePHP Database Configuration

CakePHP Database Configuration
1. A copy of Cake’s database configuration file is found in /app/config/database.php.default. Make a copy of this file in the same directory, but name it database.php.
2. On http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ create your own database.
***We will be using the following data:
user: mine database name: mydatabase password : mypass3. Open database.php. (either notepad or dreamweaver)
4. Edit
class DATABASE_CONFIG
{
var $default = array(‘driver’ => ‘mysql’,
‘connect’ => ‘mysql_connect’,
‘host’ => ‘localhost’,
‘login’ => ‘mine’, //the user of your database
‘password’ => ‘mypass’, //the password of your database
‘database’ => ‘mydatabase’, //the name of your database
‘prefix’ => ”);
This is the first time and the last time that you will configure your database. You will be using a single database, you will just add tables.
5. Save database.php.
6. Open http://localhost/cake. You must see these two messages:
Your database configuration file is present.
Cake is able to connect to the database.

hello…
Are you using XAMMP? What is the error that shows in your browser when you access http://localhost/cake/?
Maybe we can chat online to deal with your problem.
