Answer 2

I actually got the same issue as you, but I don't remember how I solved it.

What I can assure you it's not a .htaccess issue, but a configuration error of Apache.

I think the part I modified was this one.

<Directory />
    #Options +Indexes
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    #Order deny,allow
    #Deny from all
</Directory>

Note how I commented some lines. Altough I can't confirm this, since I don't have the default configuration file.

I had same issue and here is solution that worked for me

this is my cakephp.conf in wamp server

Alias /cakephp "d:/wamp/apps/cakephp/app/webroot" 

<Directory "d:/wamp/apps/cakephp/app/webroot">
   Options FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride all
   Require local
</Directory>

This is .htaccess file in /cakephp (not changed anything)

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule    ^$ /webroot/    [L]
   RewriteRule    (.*) /webroot/$1 [L]

</IfModule>

This is .htaccess file in /cakephp/app (not changed anything)

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule    ^$    /webroot/    [L]
    RewriteRule    (.*) /webroot/$1    [L]

</IfModule>

This is .htaccess file in /cakephp/app/webroot (changed)

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /cakephp
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /webroot/index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

I just added line this line

RewriteBase /cakephp

After this I was able to launch url localhost/cakephp/index.php/posts/index

Hope this will help you to get started with CakePhp using WAMP Server
