I have installed CakePHP 2.0 framwork using steps below:
1. Start the terminal
2. sudo mkdir /var/www/cakephp
3.sudo cp -r ~/cakephp/* /var/www/cakephp
Change tmp folder permisssion
4. sudo chmod -R 777 cakephp/app/tmp
Enable mod-rewrite
5. sudo a2enmod rewrite

I opened my browser and typed address http://localhost/cakephp/ and I seaw this error message:

The command sudo chmod -R 777 cakephp/app/tmp only made tmp writable, you should make cache and it's subdirectories writable as well, otherwise Cake can't write the cache files to the cache directory in tmp.
So, these directories should be writable:
cakephp/app/tmp/cache
cakephp/app/tmp/cache/persistent
cakephp/app/tmp/cache/models
Make sure the log directory is writable as well: cakephp/app/tmp/logs.
