CakePHP 3 Tutorial - part 1: Introduction & Installation

*** UPDATED FOR CAKEPHP 4.0 ***

First part in the series of learning CakePHP 3.0. We will be following the official CakePHP bookmarker tutorial.

As promised, here are the scripts to run along with a small guide:
1. Navigate to the directory you want the project to be installed to, using the terminal / console.

5. Now cake should be installed and you have lots of directories.

6. Go into the "bookmarker" applications, and verify you stand in the same directory as the "bin" folder, along with all the other folders cake installed for you.

7. Run: bin/cake server

8. Go to the localhost link provided by the console output, and verify your installation.

Thank you for taking the time to create videos within "CakePhp 3", as we all know cake doesn't have a large group of followers that are willing to teach information that is required to jump into CakePhp. A very detailed video to start out CakePhp would be nice. I'm not talking about how Cakephp start. I'm talking about Functions, Methods, Making things easier..

Nice tutorial.Simple and easy
For those who got trouble finding nothing but 'empty file' in 'vendor' directory, Checck out php.ini file and make sure extension=php_intl.dll is set.And restart server

Hi J.B.G

Thanks for the video. However, I am facing some issues in the installation of Cakephp. The error is below:

- cakephp/cakephp 3.3.9 requires ext-intl * -> the requested PHP extension intl is missing from your system.

As per the error message, I removed ; from php.ini file but still getting the same error.

I have Mac 10.12 Sierra, Xampp 5.6.28-1 version and PHP 5.6.24 version. Please help me installing this.

Hello i have this problem i don't find solution in google :


Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1
- cakephp/cakephp 3.4.2 requires lib-icu >=4.8 -> the requested linked library icu has the wrong version installed or is missing from your system, make sure to have the extension providing it.

[jacktheknifescyzor]

Where did you have specified URL for redirectUrl()? I'm getting and error message after login -> Error: A route matching "/" could not be found. Any clue?

[coffeepete]

I run cakephp right on my webserver. I can't run the bin/cake server thing. I just set my document path the the "webroot" folder right in the composer created one. And now it works the same. But thanks for the introduction.

[myrna-agh]

Nice tutorial man, just one thing, you're assuming we all have, at least, the same resolution in our screens as yours.

[ManeloFernandez]

For anyone having trouble with the installation in Linux (i'm using Ubuntu 17.04), if you get the intl error just open a new terminal:
sudo apt-get install php5-intl
sudo service apache2 restart

You might also get an error about something called "mbstring", again, in the terminal type:
sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
sudo service apache2 restart

Hi, I've tried following the first steps and I get the following error message: - cakephp/cakephp 3.2.x-dev requires ext-intl * -> the requested PHP extension intl is missing from your system.

I have tried looking for the answer on stack overflow but I don't understand any of the responses. Can you help please?

what if wanted install exactly 3.2.1 CakePHP on live server, I have composer installed on server but where put composer.json with CakePHP version 3.2.1.... I put in install directory but composer installed 3.2.6.... well?

[HCSNMCO]

If CakePHP is for fast development, why is the setup so complex? Isn't this something that could be automated? Or has it drawbacks for necessary customization?

[Subhash__Kumar]

Could not open input file: i am getting this error when running bin/cake server

please help
