Yup. Your server isn't set up correctly. When your server works properly, the .htaccess files will route you from the site root (in your case /cakephp) to /cakephp/app/webroot/index.php. If that isn't happening your server or your cake set up is wrong. The fact that you are getting directory listings on more than one app on your server indicates a server set up issue. CakePHP does work - if it doesn't work for you, look local for the solution.

Ok I'll try to see what is wrong with my Apache server. You wouldn't happen to know where I should look, would you? Possibly a configuration in the httpd file?
Thanks for walking me through everything and pinpointing it to this point.

Thank you!!! Finally it is working! I changed the DirectoryIndex line and added index.php and it is finally working. I can't believe that was the problem. Shouldn't that have changed when I installed PHP?
That could be it... I am reading this post to figure what's happening, and I'm reading on that link where it says that IIS 7 natively doesn't support .htaccess files. I am running on IIS 7, perhaps you are too?
I'm not new to Cake (so I knew what it should look like), but just did a brand-new install of Apache 2.4, PHP 5.3.17, and Cake 2.2.3 on a Windows machine. In addition to the documented steps, I also had to do the following to get the Cake main page to display:
- Uncomment the *LoadModule rewrite_module *line in httpd.conf - Add *index.php* to the *DirectoryIndex* line as described above
The rewrite_module stuff is mentioned prominently in the existing documentation, but the DirectoryIndex part isn't. Yes, that's technically a PHP configuration but should probably be in the Cake docs anyway.
