Can you visit any URL at all under the domain or is this occurring
with just some paths?

Create a file at app/webroot/foo.txt, contents: "foo". If it happens
when you browse to http://the.domain/foo.txt then the problem is with
either the webserver or DNS and Apache is loading the default site
(eg. first loaded virtual host) instead.

Is the site a subdomain?
Can you ping the domain? From a shell (on your computer), try
"nslookup the.domain"
If you're on Windows, try this:

Has the virtual host config been created/enabled?
Has Apache been reloaded/restarted?
Have you checked Apache's error and access logs?

If you DO see foo.txt ...

What version of Cake are you running?
If not all paths are affected, which ones are?
set debug to 2
