Your directory structure doesn't look right. The directory 'cakephp' is effectively the root of your site. The files/folders within it should be: .htaccess /app /cake /docs (optional, but useful) index.php /vendors
All of the files and folders that you create go in the /app folder. If you follow this set up you'll get to your homepage at http://localhost/cakephp/. May I make a suggestion? Why not create a folder in your web root call todo, and then deploy the structure I outlined. Then you can get to your site at http://localhost/todo/. When you deploy to live, you simply move the entire contents of /todo to your web server's root and it should all work nicely.
