CakePHP database connection problem

Can anybody explain exactly what the parameter grid_data passed to the loadXML() function does in the CakePHP Tutorial? I assume that it is supposed to invoke the grid_data action of the EventController object ( as defined in EventController.php).

For some reason, even though I’m pretty sure I’ve set up all the right files in the right places, and although I can get the grid to display correctly, it is not showing any data from the table. The database is connecting OK, and log.txt shows no errors.

mygrid.loadXML("./grid_data"); //refers to the 'grid_data' action we have created in the previous step var dp = new dataProcessor("./grid_data"); //refers to the 'Grid_data' action as well

I have followed the tutorial: [url]Start DHTMLX Docs

Yes, you are right.
If you have not changed anything in routes configuration, the action must be called, and result of it response must be used as a data for the component.

Try to use Chrome debug tools of Firebug - both tools can show all calls to the server side and response’s content.

Thanks Stanislav. It must have been a path issue. Actually, I’ve moved over to Yii now, and everything is working.
Thanks for your help
