I am starting to develop a website using CakePHP for my framework, I've literally just started and have already encountered errors, I can't work about what they mean.

Warning: _cake_core_ cache was unable to write 'cake_dev_en-us' to File cache in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/evolvidsnew/lib/Cake/Cache/Cache.php on line 310

I am also getting an error about the following:

Notice (1024): Please change the value of 'Security.salt' in app/Config/core.php to a salt value specific to your application [CORE/Cake/Utility/Debugger.php, line 717]
Notice (1024): Please change the value of 'Security.cipherSeed' in app/Config/core.php to a numeric (digits only) seed value specific to your application [CORE/Cake/Utility/Debugger.php, line 721]
Warning (512): _cake_core_ cache was unable to write 'file_map' to File cache [CORE/Cake/Cache/Cache.php, line 310]

Any help would be much appreciated by all.

This directory: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/evolvidsnew/app/tmp/cache needs to be made writeable by whatever user ID your webserver is running under. You don't specify which OS you're on, so can't tell you how to do that specifically.
