Re: CakePHP 2 Folder Structure

So I would recommend having one location of Cake on your root, then
people can just create new applications(or projects) inside this
directory.
So you can access them from example.com/projectname you just simply
move your webroot out of your app(project) folder and rename it to
ProjectName.
Then in your new ProjectName folder(webroot) you can modify the
index.php, to something like what is listed below. This is how I
generally do it so that I can just modify what APP_DIR
and then toss all my applications inside a cake folder that is
chilling on my root. That way only webroot is exposed.
The folder structure of my cake folder is
cake
-lib
-plugins
-vendors
-ProjectName
-ProjectName2
-SomeOtherProj

Then my webroot I can move somewhere and then you just need to add the
appropriate amount of dirnames to get back to your root, and then
specify the folder that you are using, and in my case it is cake.
if (!defined('ROOT')) {
define('ROOT', dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . DS . 'cake');
}
/**
* The actual directory name for the "app".
*
*/
if (!defined('APP_DIR')) {
define('APP_DIR', 'ProjectName');
}
