In my experiences, you can enable mod rewrite in some shared hosting environments by placing something like this in a .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L] RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L] </IfModule> What you'll notice though, is that a .htaccess file exists in three locations with that similar code in it within the cake directories (by default). Check to make sure those files exist on the server. You also might try to add the .htaccess file to the root (public_html) folder of your server and that might help. However, if phpinfo() says it's enabled, that may not help. Also, directly from the manual: "Make sure that an .htaccess override is allowed in your httpd.conf (Apache), you should have a section that defines a section for each Directory on your server. Make sure the AllowOverride is set to All for the correct Directory." You should be able to do this some other way (without needing access to the httpd.conf)... I assume in the .htaccess file, but I'm not sure I can tell you how to do that. Also, this may not be related to mod-rewrite... have you googled the error you get when leaving mod-rewrite enabled in the Cake core? That stuff may or may not help, but maybe it will get you headed in the right direction.
