3.2 Installation Preparation

CakePHP is fast and easy to install. The minimum requirements are a webserver and a copy of Cake, that's it! While this manual focuses primarily on setting up with Apache (because it's the most common), you can configure Cake to run on a variety of web servers such as LightHTTPD or Microsoft IIS.

Installation preparation consists of the following steps:

  • Downloading a copy of CakePHP
  • Configuring your web server to handle php if necessary
  • Checking file permissions
