To configure your CakePHP project, you’ll need to follow these steps:

1. Open the file config/app.php in a text editor and set the ‘Security.salt’ and ‘Security.cipherSeed’ values to random strings. These values are used to secure your application and should not be shared with anyone.

2. Set the ‘App.baseUrl’ value to the base URL of your application. This is the URL that users will use to access your application.

3. Set the ‘App.fullBaseUrl’ value to the full URL of your application, including the protocol (e.g. “http” or “https”).

4. Set the ‘App.namespace’ value to the namespace that you want to use for your application.

5. Set the ‘Datasources.default.host’ value to the hostname of your database server.

6. Set the ‘Datasources.default.username’ and ‘Datasources.default.password’ values to the username and password of your database user.

7. Set the ‘Datasources.default.database’ value to the name of the database that you want to use for your application.

8. If you want to use a different database engine (such as MySQL or PostgreSQL), you’ll need to set the ‘Datasources.default.driver’ value accordingly.

Once you’ve completed these steps, your CakePHP project should be properly configured and ready to use.
