It is also possible to use the Import functionality in IIS’s URL Rewrite module to import rules directly
from CakePHP’s .htaccess files in root, /app/, and /app/webroot/ - although some editing within IIS may
be necessary to get these to work. When Importing the rules this way, IIS will automatically create your
web.config file for you.
Once the web.config file is created with the correct IIS-friendly rewrite rules, CakePHP’s links, css, js, and
rerouting should work correctly.
Fire It Up
Alright, let’s see CakePHP in action. Depending on which setup you used, you should point your browser to
http://example.com/ or http://example.com/cake_install/. At this point, you’ll be presented with CakePHP’s
default home, and a message that tells you the status of your current database connection.
Congratulations! You are ready to create your first CakePHP application.
