OK, you should be able to validate if mod_rewrite is loaded by looking at the server-info page of your server, or contacting your hosting provider if they don't give you access to that.
You definitely should be able to look at your logs to see where the problem lies, most often on a hosting service, the problem is because you're on a shared server, so even though you see http://myhost/, you are really going to some directory under a shared htdocs, so the default .htaccess is trying to redirect you to a file that doesn't exist. By adding the RewriteBase to your .htaccess files for Cake, you can fix the shared hosting problem.
