CakePHP - start a project with the console application

To start fast a new project with cakephp 1.2 you will need:

- web server - I use apache 2.2
- php4 or php5 - I use php5
- mysql server - I use mysql 5.0.45
- cakephp - I use cake_1.2.4.8284

After the web and mysql servers are installed install the cakephp - I choosed the path

/var/www/frameworks/cake_1.2.4.8284

Then open a xterm or any shell:

cd /var/www/frameworks/cake_1.2.4.8284/cake/console
cake bake help

Will give you all the info you need to know on how to bootstrap your new project.
I choosed the following:

cake bake project
Then just answer the questions that cake asks:

Change myapp to whatever name you want to have for the app.I put slash0.
At this point the application project is created into the path you specified.

/var/www/frameworks/cake_1.2.4.8284/app/slash0

From now on all you have to do is follow the cakephp book on how to develop :)
