[FIXED] CakePHP 3 on Bluehost Console Commands Do Not Function

Issue

I'm attempting to get a CakePHP 3 app setup on a shared hosting solution provided by Bluehost. When I attempt to bin/cake bake from a console (or any cake commands, really) I get the following output:

# Canonicalize by following every symlink of the given name recursively
canonicalize() {
        NAME="$1"
        if [ -f "$NAME" ]
        then
                DIR=$(dirname -- "$NAME")
                NAME=$(cd -P "$DIR" > /dev/null && pwd -P)/$(basename -- "$NAME")
        fi
        while [ -h "$NAME" ]; do
                DIR=$(dirname -- "$NAME")
                SYM=$(readlink "$NAME")
                NAME=$(cd "$DIR" > /dev/null && cd $(dirname -- "$SYM") > /dev/null && pwd)/$(basename -- "$SYM")
        done
        echo "$NAME"
}

CONSOLE=$(dirname -- "$(canonicalize "$0")")
APP=$(dirname "$CONSOLE")

exec php "$CONSOLE"/cake.php "$@"
exit

My folder structure is currently set as :

/public_html
    /app
        /cakestuff

Generated with the code:

php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app app

I've also attempted to set up the app outside of public_html, but I have no idea where to look for other potential issues.

It looks like my cake commands aren't actually being run.

Solution

I had same problem on Hostmonster server, which is same or similar to Bluehost. The following appears to work:

php-cli bin/cake.php bake

This is same as suggestion from Arak Tai'Roth above, but with "php-cli".
