I like this approach--making DocumentRoot point to the CakePHP app. I'm just not sure how to or what RewriteRule I need to use to make http://mydomain.com go to the WordPress "main" ? > You also mentioned wanting to use the WordPress user authentication system. > If you mean that you want a user to be able to log in to your CakePHP web > site using their credentials from your WordPress installation, then that's a > totally separate topic to research.

Option 2 is what I'm going for so I can also use WordPress/BuddyPress' registration functionality.
