5.3.2 Production

In order to utilize a production setup, you will need to have the rights to change the document root for your web server. Choosing the production setup means the whole domain acts as a single CakePHP application.

The production setup uses the following layout:

  • /path_to_cake_install/
    • /app
      • /webroot (this directory is set as the document root for the web server)
    • /cake
    • /docs
    • /index.php
    • /vendors

If this application was going to be hosted on Apache, the DocumentRoot directive for the domain would look something like: 

DocumentRoot /path_to_cake_install/app/webroot
  1. DocumentRoot /path_to_cake_install/app/webroot

To see your CakePHP application, point your web browser to http://www.example.com.
