An example for creating applications with CakePHP 3.x.

The framework source skeleton code can be found here: cakephp/cakephp.

3. Run cake bin\cake server

You should now be able to visit the web application at http://localhost:8765/

Issues that you might face after installing

1. Database driver Cake\Database\Driver\Mysql cannot be used due to a missing PHP extension or unmet dependency The above error will be displayed on browser, if Mysql database driver couldn't be used by app or is missing. Type the following command in terminal : sudo apt-get install php5-mysql Now restart mysql using command service mysql restart then restart Apache using command service apache2 restart Refresh the browser now, the above error would have disappeared.
