	Since the cake wiki is down, i am reposting relevant parts of the tutorial i wrote there regarding using cake and the uniform server. Learn more about cake at http://bakery.cakephp.org/ or simply http://bakery.cakephp.org/		Since the cake wiki is down, i am reposting relevant parts of the tutorial i wrote there regarding using cake and the uniform server (originally http://wiki.cakephp.org/tutorials:forl_beginners_using_uniform_server). Learn more about cake at http://bakery.cakephp.org/ or simply http://bakery.cakephp.org/

	The uniform server doesn't "install" so much as you just unpack it. I recommend unpacking it in the root of a drive and not buried somewhere in a special "my documents" or desktop folder, so like, "c:\". Once you have unpacked it, you have to follow the instructions that come with the php4 plugin and the unitray. I prefer to install the php4 plugin because, although cake runs on php5, most hosting services do not run php5, so i want to make sure my development environment is the same just in case there are any issues (especially with vendor classes). anyway it's simple: you just replace some crap into the uniserver/diskw/usr/local/php folder and change one line in your apache's httpd.conf (all described in the plugin's readme). installing the unitray is also easy, but to make the unitray compatible with uniserver 3.3 (not 3.2) you have to change one line in the uniserver\diskw\plugins\UniTray\unitray.ini file from "Start.bat" to "Server_Start.bat" under the "StartUniServer" section. no biggie, and then we get to use the ultra-handy shortcuts on the uniserver system tray icon. you can also launch the unitray now and/or make a shortcut in your startup items folder if you like.
