Ok, that's useful to know. My immediate 'issue' is on localhost. I could, as Adeola suggested (thanks also for your reply), put Cake in htdocs as root user and I'm sure it would work fine, but as I'll not be able to do that on a live server I want to test Cake in a user account (http://localhost/~fredriley/). Now, if I unzip cake_1.2.5.zip into the user account's webroot on the Mac (Users/fredriley/Sites/ cake_1.2.5) that includes a .htaccess file with mod_rewrite directives, so that when I try the URL http://localhost/~fredriley/cake_1.2.5/ I get a 404. If I remove the .htaccess then the index.php script runs ok, but of course rewrites (as used in the tutorial cited) fail. I tried putting DocumentRoot /Users/fredriley/Sites/cake_1.2.5/app/webroot into the .htaccess but got an internal server error. So the follow-up question is: how do I configure Cake to run in a standard user account? Do I need to edit the .htaccess file, and if so what should I add? I've set permissions according to the fine manual, and have carried out the simple development installation. All of the installations, though, seem to assume root access to the system and Apache config - none mention standard user accounts. I'm very keen to use Cake. My client-side life has been vastly improved by the excellent jQuery (despite its steep learning curve), and if I can get a similar improvement on my server-side coding that could save me a lot of time and enable me to do far more with my web apps. Cheers Fred
