No, I'm using a linux media player. Obviously the quicktime format is not fully supported...

Hi David. Cannot say how appreciative I am of your scaffolding and bake screencast. It has to be one of the best screencasts I've seen on the Internet and has really helped me get to grips with Cake. I'll be buying your book soon I think!

All the best

hi. I am using MAMP out of the box and just downloaded the most recent cakePHP but when I drop all the files into 'newapp' within my htdoc DIR, I am not getting any CSS styles. Everything else is working, the DB, the temp and salt have all been configured. But when I follow your screencast and add the 'Records' controller etc... I get a "no file found" error at http://localhost/newapp/records ..any insights would be great.

Great work! Learnt a lot from your screencasts.

And glad you are using a Mac. Been hard to find specific tutorials for setup using Macs, at the moment I'm just using the tutorial listed on CakeForge to get CakePHP to run on different ports which works fine cos I have to run some of the projects I do on shudder Windows Server running PHP.

Btw what version of OSX are you using? I'm using Leopard atm and it's running PHP 5.2.6. As said before I have each CakePHP project running on 1 port per project. Any benefit in installing MAMP?

Thanks for that.

Dana, I don't know if you fixed it already, but I was having the same problem...you have to adjust the mod_rewrite in apache!

See if this helps:

David, what MySQL editor are you using in these screencasts?

I use Shift (www.shiftosx.com). They should be rolling out with a new version any day now...

Hey thanks for the response. I just read on pg15 of your book that you (used to) use CocoaMySQL so I downloaded that and got it working fine. Although I may check out Shift to see if it's any quicker. I endeavor to one day get to the sheer speed with which you do app development. It's inspiring!
