Hi Timetomove, Being on a shared host in itself isn´t a problem.
>From my own experience: I've used 3 different ones in the past year (and several local setups), and had no problems at all. It seems that your host has done something a bit wacky, or otherwise had a wacky setup in the first place, as it shouldn´t be necessary to do anything at all except unbundle the files to get going - especially not hardcoding to redirect the url (what´s the point of mod_rewrite if it´s visible to the user :) ) I think you have 3 choices: 1) Get your host to sort out what ever they have done to your setup to leave it so ****ed. 2) delete the .htaccess files, edit your core.php to use pretty urls for now 3) install something like wamp/xamp/lamp/whatever, dev your site on a local machine (real easy) where you have full control and upload the files when done. In doing so you would be able to fix/investigate any problems you came across locally (especially useful if the delay in responding from your host is slow). The apache (rewrite) log would be useful to review, but as many (100s+, he said conservatively) of users have installed CakePHP on linux/windows shared boxes running apache without doing anything to get it going, I think it´s quite safe to assume this is a problem on their side of the fence to rectify. You just need Apache in it´s out of the box mode to work after all. The IRC channel is a good place to stop by, if you still need some help. You can get there at http://irc.cakephp.org/irc.html if you don´t have an IRC client.
