    Then you need to find it...

    I woudln't expect to find it in the htdocs folder... but rather a couple levels down from there. xampp installs I've worked with in the past typically point xampp\htdocs\wwwroot for the root of the site... this is so that you can put things into htdocs for reference but still keep them out of the public zone. Go back to your htdocs folder and look at some of the other folders in there ... at some point you'll find the right public folder in which will be your cake install and your database.php file to set up the database access.

    inside C:\xampp\ folder I-type in the search box "database.php" but no luck... so what's the problem? it is the new version of cakePHP?

    Take a look at the "Config" folder for a file named "app.php" : http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/quick...-configuration

    Then change the values of these: http://i.imgur.com/0jitvoJ.png

    Use the correct db username and password. In WAMP, the default the username is "root" and there's no password (if you haven't set one manually). Don't know about XAMPP. Also make sure that you have created the db. Take a look at the quick start guide if you are not familiar with CakePHP.
