Re: debug a failed save()

Did you try setting debug=2 or 3 so you can see the queries that were
executed, and the data ?

The code you posted doesn't show you disabling validation, Cake does
the validation unless you a) remove any validation from the model or
b) you explicitly turn off validation in your save call.

Without seeing the actual Cake debug, it's hard for anybody to tell
you what went wrong.

Also make sure you have something like the following in your
default.ctp:

<?php
// Display flash messages ...
if ($session->check('Message.flash')) {
$session->flash();
}

// Display Auth messages ...
if ($session->check('Message.auth')) {
$session->flash('auth');
}
?>
