# cakephp-instaweb(1)

lightweight HTTP server for developing CakePHP applications

## NAME

cakephp-instaweb - lightweight HTTP server for developing CakePHP applications

## SYNOPSIS

**cakephp-instaweb** \[-p PORT\] \[-i INTERFACE\] \[-r\] \[-q\] \[\<webroot\>\]

## DESCRIPTION

**cakephp-instaweb** is a lightweight web server designed for quick development of CakePHP web applications.

It is designed to be reasonably intelligent in locating your application's webroot folder: running the program from somewhere near your application's "app" folder without specifying a webroot argument will start a small web server on port 3000 that will point at your application.

(If **cakephp-instaweb** is unsuccessful in locating your application, or you wish to start the server from a different folder, you can specify a precise application webroot location on the command line.)

## OPTIONS

- **--port, -p**

  Specify which port to run on. (default: 3000)

- **--interface, -i**

  Specify which interface to run on. (default: 127.0.0.1)

- **--disable-rewrite, -r**

  Disables Apache-style rewriting of URLs. You will need to enable the BASE\_URL configuration variable in app/config/core.php for URLs to function correctly after disabling rewrites.

- **--quiet, -q**

  Make as little noise as possible.

- **-help, -h**

  Shows help message.
