If you're seeing a completely blank page I'd suggest having a look at
Apache's (not Cake's, though it couldn't hurt) error log.

Before you take this any further, replace all of that with a clean
install (at least, those files) or you could be going in circles for a
long time.

I'm not sure how to help with that. For my site, I've decided to just
explicitly set out all of the routes that I want the Pages controller
to handle. Well, sort of explicitly. This works, for example:
Router::connect('/about', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'about/index'));
Router::connect('/about/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'about'));
The second route handles requests for anything in or below the 'about'
directory (which goes another level deeper). So I have all of those
views stored in the app/webroot/views/pages/about directory.
