Comments: Apache and mod_rewrite
2 - Installing Cake in a subdirectory
Could you add some pointers in installing cake in a subdirectory instead of the root of the website? (e.g. http://example.com/cake/) I read somewhere I should add "RewriteBase /cake/" to the .htaccess, but it didn't work for me.
3 - mod_rewrite in dist.
I had issues with the .htaccess files as well. Those issues didn't appear in the latest build. I looked into it and it appears that the dist. cake_1.1.20.7692.tar.gz is missing app/webroot/.htaccess
cake_1.2.0.7692-rc3.tar.gz has all three .htaccess files.

1 - restart apache
Make sure to restart apache, if you made changes to httpd.conf !
