Error: The application is trying to load a file from the DebugKit plugin

Question

CakePHP DebugKit Install CakePHP 2.5.6 DebugKit 2.2.5

I followed the manual install directions at: GitHub These are pretty much the same directions from StackOverflow.

I get the following error:

Missing Plugin

Error: The application is trying to load a file from the DebugKit plugin Error: Make sure your plugin DebugKit is in the app/Plugin directory and was loaded

<?php
CakePlugin::load('DebugKit');

Loading all plugins: If you wish to load all plugins at once, use the following line in your app/Config/bootstrap.php file

CakePlugin::loadAll();

Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create app/View/Errors/missing_plugin.ctp

I tried changing my permissions on the folders:

I'm guessing it's a permissions issue?

The intern fixed this without telling me how, then the project got canceled... I'd guess that the group or owner needed to be changed to match the webserver user. — Denise Skidmore
