Answer 1

You probably had a custom Cake path set in app/webroot/index.php. The directory structure for Cake 2.0 has changed slightly and normally this would be handled by the new code which automatically finds the right value for CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH. Also, make sure APP_DIR is set correctly in the same index.php file.

Make sure app/webroot/index.php contains the correct path to Cake, which is /path/to/cake/lib.

if (!defined('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH')) {
  define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', DS.'path'.DS.'to'.DS.'cake'.DS.'lib');
}

Reverting back to the standard define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', ROOT) might work as well, if the way Cake is set up is not too custom.
