Re: Very newbie question. Trying to define cake core include path

So CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH should point to the Cake directory in the repo's lib folder.

From your setup, you should use

if (!defined('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH')) { 

// points to /var/www/cake/lib (which has the "Cake" folder in it)
    define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', DS . 'var' . DS . 'www' . DS . 'cake' . DS . 'lib'); 

}  

You should not need to modify ROOT or APP_DIR at all.

I just donwloaded cakephp 2, just starting to learn it.

So here's what it says in the cook book.

The CakePHP core libraries will be placed in /usr/lib/cake.

if (!defined('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH')) {
    define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', DS . 'usr' . DS . 'lib');
}

So I only need to define up till /lib ? without the /cake? Does that
mean my cake source will always be in a directory called cake?

In my case, my cake source is here
/var/www/lib/cake
And I copied webroot over to here
/var/www/html/caketest

So my index.php should have these?

if (!defined('ROOT')) {
        define('ROOT', DS . 'var' . DS . 'www' . DS . 'html');
}

if (!defined('APP_DIR')) {
        define('APP_DIR', 'caketest');
}

if (!defined('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH')) {
    define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', DS . 'var' . DS . 'www' . 'lib');
}

So far I'm only getting blank pages. The index.php seems to stops
right at
App::uses('Dispatcher', 'Routing');
