where “C:/xampp/htdocs/cakeblog/cake/console/cake.php” is the path of bake file.

    • I’ve tried it in wampserver 2.0 which works fine for me. From command promt, just follow the steps bellow

      1. Go to command promt

      C:\Documents and Settings\Abu Musa>cd\

      2. Change your location to php path

      C:\>cd C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.9-2

      3 Start bake

      C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.9-2>php.exe C:/wamp/www/cakephp/cake/console/cake.php bake

      Then you will see the following screen if you are successfull.

  3. Thanks a lot for making this blog post. I’m reading a book that totally left us windows guys in the dark.

    I got this error:

    PHP.exe Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because php_mbstring.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem

    But once you hit ok to acknowledge the error it continues loading and bring you to the Interactive Bake Shell.

    • Hi Jon Lyles,
      It seems, some of php component is missing. Are you using xampp? If no, get a copy from here http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html and follow the steps above. If yes, Re-installing should solve your problem.

      Thanks

  4. I tried this out and now every time I run cake bake it asks if I want to copy a template over , every single time. Is there any way to get rid of this?
