I have been using the cake command on my linux server for 2 years. but now im trying to move to a new server and some how the cake command gives back the error: No such file or directory
even if i give the entire path to the cake command file chmod 777 it stil wont work.
I found the solution: All I had to do is use the program dos2unix the cake file for CakePHP 2.4.2 has wrong endings when you download it with Ubuntu 13.10
I used the following command:
sudo dos2unix /path/to/cake/lib/Cake/Console/cake
The REAL solution to this is to change the End-of-Line (EOL) characters to Unix format, instead of MsDos. So I guess this error will only occur if you worked in Windows.
Anyway, teh mighty SOLUTION:
(1) Open app/Console/cake file using any text editor that allows changing of EOL characters e.g. NotePad++.
(2) In NotePad++ click: Edit -> EOL Conversion -> Convert to Unix format
(3) Save the file and upload it to the server. Now if you navigate to the CakePHP app directory using command like:
cd /usr/share/nginx/html/cakeproject/app
...you should be able to run Console/cake without any problems and see standard output (basically help commands).
Hope this helped you!
I also have this problem on some servers and never figured out why this happened. I suspect the so called "shebang" might not be set correctly for every Linux distribution (e.g. if the cake script stars with #!/usr/bin/env bash, but you don't use bash on your server or your distribution doesn't have the env binary in that path, it might fail on that. This is just a theory though, as I said I never really figured it out, nor did I invest much time in investigating.
Although, what I always use as a fallback is simply calling the cake.php script (from the app folder) instead, like:
php Console/cake.php -app `pwd` bake
That never lets me down. The -app pwd bit is to tell the shell that your current directory is your app directory, so the shell can find all your files.
I encountered the same problem as well, but the top answer reminded me of a similar problem I faced before: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5514351/1097483
Basically, instead of using dos2unix or installing it, you can open the file in vim, do
:set fileformat=unix
And save it.
In some versions it's possible to install cake using sudo apt-get install cakephp-scripts.
After instalation, you coud access bake anywere simple by typing bake
