This is by design, what you are getting on the live server is really a development installed path. This allows you to place another app directory in the same directory as app, for example app2 then you could access both apps during development. When you move to production I suggest setting as you did the first time, with DOCUMENT ROOT set to /app/webroot. The biggest reason is this keep everything except the webroot/* content outside of a web accessible directory.

So I did my first test installation of cake on my powerbook and got it
working np. I untarred the cake folder inside OS X's webroot at
/Library/WebServer/Documents/ and renamed it to cake. I then set
Document Root in httpd.conf to point to
/Libarary/WebServer/Documents/cake/app/webroot
This is what the installation instructions say to do, to set the root
to /app/webroot.
Well, I've since set up cake on a linux webserver out in the wild, and
what I did was simply untar cake, which gave me a folder on my linux
document root called cake_1.0.1.2708 and which I promptly used mv to
extract everything from that directory into the root directory, which
apache's httpd.conf was already pointing to for that webiste.
Well, I've found having Document Root pointing at / works just as well
as having it point to /app/webroot.
Is this by design? Or am I just witnessing blind luck and setting
myself up for some serious failure later on?
