Someone showed up at my site recently looking to run cakePHP on an XServe. Honestly, I’m a bit confused as to why they needed to search for such. Activating php (or upgrading it thanks to entropy.ch), reconfiguring the apache root path, and dropping in cake core are all fairly trivial tasks. Hell, you could probably skip the reconfiguring the web root altogether and just drop the content of your app folder into /Library/WebServer/Documents. Once you drop the “cake” core folder into /Library/WebServer/ you should be rocking and rolling.
I also just talked to nate. He claims that Apple still does not ship their server installs with php enabled within Apache. So you’ll need to go into the ServerAdmin -> Web Server and check the mod_php.so box to enable it. He also let me know that mod_rewrite should be on by default.
