これからCakePHPを始める、かつMySQL(またはMaria DB)でアプリを動かしたい方向けです。

接続自体大したことないんですが、なんせ同じような名前の設定ファイルがあっていろいろいじくりまわして
なかなか接続できなかった、あの日の自分にも向けた記事となっています。

検証動作環境

検証したOS
Windows11

CakePHPのバージョン
4.5.7

設定の対象ファイルは「app_local.php」です。

CakaPHPとMySQL(MariaDB)の接続情報を書き込むファイルはapp_local.phpです。

修正する箇所は、Datasourcesの配列の中の①username、②password、③database、の3か所を修正するだけです。
