I do most of what you do and its working fine.
First check that php_mysql installed and apach2 is working and mod_rewrite
is loaded.
1. Extract cake anywhere, usually not /var/www, in you home .
/home/zaky/projects/cakesample/
2. Change /etc/apache2/sites-available/default to "AllowOverride All"
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
3. rename database.php.default to database.php
4. in /var/www
sudo ln -s /home/zaky/projects/cakesample/ cakesample
4.Now check at http://localhost/cakesample.
The site should work and notify you about tmp directory access and the need
to change cipherSeed and salt.
5. To farther create an application you need to rename database.php.default
an create a database etc ...
If something is wrong please write what you get at
http://localhost/cakesample
