I've been trying to run cake on a godaddy hosting service. mod_rewrite
is not  available, so I set up cake to use its Pretty URLs, by
uncommenting the line inside core.php and by deleting .htaccess files.
I got the index page to perfectly, with CSS styling and connection to
the database, but I can't access controllers/actions. I get a 404 not
found. I tried

www.mysite.com/index.php/controller/action and
www.mysite.com/index.php?url=/controller/action with no success.

On my computer, everything works fine with mod_rewrite, but I can'
make it to work on the server. Is it something special with godaddy,
or am I missing some other settings. Please help.

I also tried this fix: https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/812

1. The URL's need to contain the extra '?'. In app/config/core.php
[line 42] you will have uncommented this line for no mod_rewrite.
Change it to:

define('BASE_URL',env('SCRIPT_NAME') . '?');

2. Need to extract the controller/view differently. Index.php (line
68) currently reads:

$uri = setUri();

Change this line to:

$uri = env('PHP_SELF') . env('QUERY_STRING');

but no luck...

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Marcos
