DO NOT PUT CAKEPHP IN PUBLIC_HTML! I have hostgator as well, this is
what you do put it above public_html so it will not be accessible by
anyone. Then take webroot folder out of the app folder which is inside
the cake folder, and upload it to your public html, or if the cakeapp
is going to be your site just upload the contents of webroot folder to
public_html. Then edit index.php in your webroot folder that you have
just added to public_html and change these 2 lines

if (!defined('ROOT')) {
define('ROOT', DS.'home'.DS.'YOUR HOSTGATOR
USERNAME'.DS.'CakePHP');
}

and if you have changed the app folder name from app to something else
then change this line too
if (!defined('APP_DIR')) {
define('APP_DIR', 'APP FOLDER NAME');
}
