Installing CakePHP on IIS 7
Recently I spoke with someone on Twitter who was having issues running CakePHP on IIS. With all the talk about ASP.NET MVC on IIS, folks forget that the MVC pattern works in other languages as well. CakePHP provides MVC development on PHP. That said, I wanted to dive in and see what the issues were involved in getting this project up and running on IIS 7. I managed to get it installed pretty quickly, but it does take a little tweaking to get you up and running. I've chronicled my adventures with CakePHP below in case anyone else is having issues. That said, I must first say that I am not an expert working with CakePHP. This was my first experience with the project, so this information is provided "as-is" and should be taken with a grain of salt. With this demo, I’ll be walking through the "Cake Blog Tutorial” offered on cakephp.org, and modifying it as needed to work with IIS 7. That said, let's get started.
