Also, if you want to look at a hosting setup that supports PHP, MySQL, Rails (if you choose), and various other things  http://dreamhost.com is a great host that allows for commad line SSH access.

I am doing my development and most of my deployment on their servers and have had 0 problems with Cake.

Something like this would allow you to not have to worry about apache configuration on your local machine.

Here is a link to an XAMPP specific reference in the wiki.

Just to reiterate and add to what was said before.

  1. Apache Problems are not Cake Problems
  2. Cake is Free
  3. The List is in fact active.  Just count the TOTAL number of posts to the group today.
  4. Have you logged onto IRC to ask questions?
  5. The creators and maintainers of Cake really aren't here to support infividuals (although I am sure everyone is trying to help as many people as possible, for free, as often as possible).  They are here to support their project and the group.  Individualized attention and support is usually something that comes with commercial software.
  6. Be patient.  Cake is a good framework which will become more robust over time (including the documentation)
If you can post your htaccess file maybe someone who is also running XAMPP can analyze it, comparing it to their setup and suggest some changes.

If you require XAMPP help specifically you can also try to find someone with XAMPP experience on their support forums

People will help.  Just be patient and be sure to give us as much relevent info as possible.

Well, it should only be for the part of the server that  you have
Cake in. Its usually not the manual or the icons but just the '/'
directory. Maybe it would help for you to supply examples of what
you're referencing.

http://manual.cakephp.org is the official manual.

Sorry - we try hard to be available. You can't really complain about
free, though.

Do whatever you think is best. Please realize that Apache
configuration problems are not CakePHP configuration problems, though
they are closely related. Cake doesn't require mod_rewrite, so if
push comes to shove, we can help you use Cake without it.
