Hi Brendon, Thanks for the response. I am following the documentation
on Jake's website: 
http://dev.sypad.com/projects/jake/documentation/configuration/.
It didn't specify whether joomla has to be installed under app\webroot
or not. Since it does have a jake.ini configuration file, which allows
me to put in the cakephp folder relative to the joomla folder I am
guessing at least the component is trying to take care of the relative
paths by itself.

But I did try putting joomla in different locations. Here are a few
examples I tried:
1. >htdoc
       >cakephp
          >app
              >webroot
          >cake
       >joomla
          >components
              >jake

2. >htdoc
       >cakephp
          >app
              >webroot
                  >index.php (of joomla)
                  >components (of joomla)
                      >jake
                  >administrator (of joomla)
                  >other joomla folders and files
          >cake

Neither of them worked for me. Same error and same symptoms (like the
missing "\cake" in the URL, etc)
Any clue? Thanks again!

Robin
