There are my unmodified .htaccess files:
path_to_app/.htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
path_to_app/app/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
path_to_app/app/webroot/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

This one had me going for about three hours last night. It turns out
there are three .htaccess files in the Cake file structure which need
to exist. Some operating systems hide them and are not copied to the
server.
Make sure there is a .htaccess file in the following locations:
First:
../path_to_cake_install/.htaccess
Second:
../path_to_cake_install/app/.htaccess
Third
../path_to_cake_install/app/webroot/.htaccess
Once I finally got the .htacccess files installed in the proper places
it worked fine.
Good Luck
