Hi, Thanks so much for this. Here's an update :
I went to the url you suggested : https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/812 I followed the instructions to change the index.php and config.php. It now works fine !! That is to say, where it produced a page with urls such as "www.mysite.com/index.php/posts/index" it now produces "www.mysite.com/index.php?posts/index" which works a treat ! Thanks so much - I was beginning to think that cake was one of those packages I would see loads of people going on and on about how great it was and I'd be left thinking "well if its so great how come I can't even do the tutorial !!". The problem, as suggested in the url you gave, is that my server is actually IIS and php has been installed as cgi (this is confirmed if you do phpinfo(); and see this : "Server API CGI/FastCGI" on the fourth line down). Thanks dude you saved my bacon ;-) John K. bitrace wrote: > Hi! > > I'm pretty new here too but have also had some problems getting Cake > working without mod_rewrite being available.
