Cakephp 3 console and shared hosting

Quick one:

If you ever need to run a cake console app, and your site is on some shared hosting provider with only cpanel-ish access, running cake commands doesn't work *exactly* as advertised in their documentation. I managed to get my scripts running with the following syntax:


cd /home/[your_dir1]/public_html/yourSiteName.com/ ; /usr/local/bin/php bin/cake.php [app] [appFunction]


Hope that helps someone somewhere!

trying to bake on windows, but unseralize being wierd?

Notice (8): unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 0 of 1519 bytes [CORE\cake\libs\cache\file.php, line 178]

Notice (8): unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 0 of 28 bytes [CORE\cake\libs\cache\file.php, line 178]

Notice (8): unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 0 of 5 bytes [CORE\cake\libs\cache\file.php, line 178]

modify cake\libs\cache\file.php, trim $data before serialize and unserialize functions:

$data = trim($data);
