Cakephp Cake command returns No such file or directory

Question

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

Answer 1

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!
