In addition to clarkphp's comment, if you have static files inside
directories, ie. views/pages/about/foo.ctp
Router::connect('/about', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'about/index'));
Router::connect('/about/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'about'));
