Hey there, im been working on this problem for some time now and i solved it. It turns out mod_rewrite was working properly from the verry start accept somehow it is was not property sending me to the CakePHP mainpage on http://localhost/, i still get the directory listing.
But when i dit http://localhost/something i get a new page saying missing somethingcontroller. So i figured...euh...it...it..it´s working!! Only problem is that i got the directory listing. After some googling and searching the apache conf i fount the following: DirectoryIndex. entered index.php there and now all is working. Still don´t quite know why that change was needed but im not complaining since its working. Now i can finally start brushing up my PHP skills and doing some coding. I just thought i post the solution to support other starting people. I wanna thank everybody posting in this thread for helping out, hope is can return the favor sometime. Cheers!
