You don't need any files in controllers for the application to work correctly, the files needed out of the box are already stored in /cake/ (The core engine if you wish).
The homepage as I said (localhost/cakephp/) is linked to /cake/libs/controller/pages_controller.php and inside this controller is a function "display" which is displaying a page /cake/libs/views/pages/home.ctp You can overwrite these files by *creating a new* pages_controller.php in /app/controllers/pages_controller.php and /views/pages/home.ctp etc. That is how it works most of the time. Definately an issue with your .htaccess / mod_rewrite, which web server are you using, or do you use an app like EasyPHP ?
