2.Warning: include(): Failed opening 'cake\bootstrap.php' for inclusion (include_path='E:\wamp\www_cake\cakephp-cakephp-1.3.2-38-g8581350\cakephp-cakephp-8581350;D:\wamp\www\cake\;.;C:\php\pear') in D:\wamp\www\cake\webroot\index.php on line 76

Answer 1

Don't use version 1.3. it is an old version.
Use the latest. https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/releases/tag/2.4.6

The old versions will get you in trouble (as a beginner) with new php versions.

Also, the framework had evolved greatly since 1.3.

Answer 2

Not new to either php or programming here, but I too am saddled with a cake 1.3 site that must be yanked along to work with newer code. Telling people to just upgrade is not helpful.

I looked in the 'advanced configuration' section here https://book.cakephp.org/1.3/en/The-Manual/Developing-with-CakePHP/Installation.html and by examining the current index.php found that my existing installation was expecting the core cake files to be elsewhere entirely on the system. You could then either plunk the core files where expected, or change the configuration in index.php, depending on current practices.
