Pretty URLs don't work without .htaccess ?

This issue was last discussed here in 2006, as far as I can tell. I'd
like to know if anything has changed since then.

Are pretty URLs available without using .htaccess? For example, with
my Apache document root set to my app's webroot dir, a controller
"items" and an action "view", and scaffolding on, I would expect
something to be available at http://myserver.com/items/view . But it
is not; the result is a 404 error message.

IOW, the example given in the book (http://book.cakephp.org/view/105/
Scaffolding) doesn't work.

It DOES work if I try http://myserver.com/index.php/items/view
instead, but that isn't a very pretty URL. So I wonder, is there
anything I can do short of turning on .htaccess, to make the clean/
pretty URLs available? Using Cake v1.2.5, that is. Thanks.
