Yes you can. Just put all inside your public_html directory (assuming that user
directories are enabled) or a subdirectory of public_html.
It might be that .htaccess files are not handled for user directories. If so,
check the file app/config/core.php and enable rewriting by CakePHP.

This has to be a FAQ, but I can't find a CakePHP FAQ anywhere so here
goes anyway: can CakePHP run on a *nix system in a user account? That
is, with a URL such as www.anyoldhost.com/~username/myapp. It's pretty
crucial that I know this as although I've full control over my
localhost installation I don't have root privileges on our
institutional Unix system and will have to run Cake apps in user
accounts. If it can run in user accounts, are there any special
configs that need to be applied?
This has come to mind because I've been trying the Sitepoint Notes
tutorial (http://articles.sitepoint.com/print/application-development-
cakephp|Sitepoint tutorial) on a Macbook running OS/X and XAMPP. If I
put Cake into Users/username/Sites/cake_1.2.5 and try the URL
localhost/~username/cake_1.2.5/ in a browser, it fails with a 404
if .htaccess is present in Cake root on account of the rewrite
directive. Removing .htaccess displays index.php ok but without a
rewrite the tutorial falls apart (the URL localhost/~username/
cake_1.2.5/notes/ fails, for instance). On localhost I could install
cakePHP as root user for testing, but there'd be little point in
testing if I couldn't deploy it on our institutional server.
If there is a FAQ do please point me to it as I don't like asking
RTFFAQ questions. Thanks.
