Ooopps! It was a false positive. What I actually accidentally got up and running was http://myexample.com
http://www.example.com and http://www.example.com/cake_1.1.19.6305/ are still not working. However, on the positive side, http://localhost/cake_1.1.19.6305/ is working and I have a CAKE RAPID DEVELOPMENT screen telling me It found my database config file and that cake is able to connect to my database. But can someone tell me what I am supposed to see when http://www.example.com starts to work? All I get is this: "You have reached this web page by typing "example.com", "example.net", or "example.org" into your web browser. These domain names are reserved for use in documentation and are not available for registration. See RFC 2606, Section 3." I am supposing that was NOT what I was suposed to get. Any suggestions?
