You can either have multiple instances of cakePHP on your server for each project, or you can create a new app directory for each new project. For example, you can have a directory structure such as: /project_name/app/[all project files] /project_name/cake/[all project files] /project2_name/app/ /project2_name/cake/ or you can do something like: cake_projects/cake/ cake_projects/app1/ cake_projects/app2/ If you do it the second way, you will need to point Apache to the app/webroot/ directory for each project. I hope this helps. Koustubh,

I’m not quite sure I understand the question. You can either have multiple instances of cakePHP on your server for each project, or you can create a new app directory for each new project.

For example, you can have a directory structure such as:
/project_name/app/[all project files]
/project_name/cake/[all project files]
/project2_name/app/
/project2_name/cake/

or you can do something like:
cake_projects/cake/
cake_projects/app1/
cake_projects/app2/

If you do it the second way, you will need to point Apache to the app/webroot/ directory for each project.

I hope this helps.

That is my point. There are more programmers familiar with the PHP scripting language than the Ruby scripting language. Currently, Rails is a more popular framework than Cake. That is why my last paragraph states "I think one of the php MVC frameworks will catch fire and surpass Rails in popularity." No, Ruby is a scripting language and PHP is a scripting language.

You're comparing a scripting language to a framework. Try comparing PHP/Cake to Ruby on Rails, heck, even PHP framework to Rails would do. Don't get me wrong, I have been building PHP based sites for 5 years and will continue to do so (so long as rails doesn't completely take over our efforts). But when it comes to web scripting frameworks, RoR is leagues ahead of the competition. Yeah, that trend comparison is whack. You’re comparing a scripting language to a framework.
