The location of document root (app/webroot/ in CakePHP land) is variable. One can put the entire app in a directory accessible by each vhost/webserver/what-have-you, and also make sure its somewhere that can be seen by php.
Have the webserver serve up any request that isnt a static file by the 'shared' app, using url rewriting (mod_rewrite in case of apache) and everything else is served up as usual like you'd expect from the domains document root (assuming thats what you want for css/images etc). The only thing you'd have to modify, is the index.php or bootstrap.php where the core paths are defined, and have the webroot path adjusted based on the current hostname, also you want a customer specific databases, so you'd need to modify the config/database.php file to include its settings from the relevant customer path. Thats pretty much it, probably no need to mess around with symlinks, allthough thats also a possible solution, but that would just add to extra administration and setup when you need to prepare a new hosting account.
