title: Deploying CakePHP without document root?
body: <p>I'm currently in the investigation stage of using CakePHP (2.x in particular). I noticed that on the <a href="http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/deployment.html#set-document-root" rel="nofollow">deployment docs</a> I need to set the document root accordingly in httpd.conf, unfortunately for this project I don't have access to httpd.conf nor any directories below the given webroot.</p>
  
  <p>Given that, my two questions are:
  1. Is it possible to still run CakePHP without being able to set the document root?
  2. Are there any potential downsides in doing this?</p>
