It should at least show some error messages. Look into the logs of your
web server and try to fix them.

We will be able to help you if you provide us more information about
your application.

Hi all,
The site I have download was developed using cake php. Now when trying to
access the website it is showing a blank page. As Sudheer suggested I went
to error log and noted down the errors there, which are as follows:

[Thu Aug 20 14:10:16 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist:
F:/Rabin/xampp/htdocs/favicon.ico

I think there is no file called favicon.ico but how to create this file. Is
this something related to cakephp configuration.

Regards,
Sumit

This is not related to Cake whatsoever, and a 5 second Google search
would have told you that. Is the app perhaps using a database that
you've not set up? Are the permissions on the files exactly as they are
on the remote app? Is the server set up in the same general way? Are
there any missing web server modules that the app requires that you need
to add in locally?

There are a lot of questions here, but in order for anyone to help, we
need a bit more information. A blank screen could be caused by any
number of issues. What other messages are in your error log?

As far as I know, this shouldn't cause the problem you are describing
here. The "favicon.ico" file only contains the small icon you see to
the left of the URL in your browser. If it doesn't exist, the browser
will just use a generic one.

I'd suggest proceeding as follows:

o Within the browser window displaying the page you are having
problems with, check the source code. This way you can see what the
server returns to the client (the browser, in this case) and rule
out possible issues caused by the browser itself while rendering a
page.

o Continue searching the web server logs for other more meaningful
errors.


Are you sure you don't see any other errors in the browser window?
Also, are you sure you simulated the very same environment from the
original system? Same directories, databases, etc.? I'm not familiar
with CakePHP, but perhaps you need to set certain config options to get
it to work.

Lack of favicon.ico will show up in your logs if the file isn't there,
but it will do nothing to prevent your site from showing up.

Frameworks like CakePHP require additional files and database tables to
be created by the programmer, before anything will show up on the
screen. There are either omitted files or missing tables (or missing
table rows).

Have you installed the CakePHP framework in your include path?
