Hi all. I've tried installing SS on my Vista machine, running Apache. I'm fairly new to php and have installed EasyPHP locally and successfully developed a few basic php apps. I tried installing SS into www/silverstripe (http://localhost/silverstripe). I'm getting what seems to be a common error with Vista, but I've been unable to solve the problem - or see where to go next. The error on install is:

ERROR: mod_rewrite not working, redirecting to mod_rewrite test page

then it tries to redirect to rewritetest but times out.

I've tried going to http://localhost/silverstripe/home/successfullyinstalled?flush=1 but I get this error:
Not Found

The requested URL /silverstripe/home/successfullyinstalled was not found on this server.
(there is no 'home' directory in the silverstripe folder)

When I go back and try to run the installer I see:

Note: It seems as though SilverStripe is already installed here. If you ask me to install, I will overwrite the .htaccess and mysite/_config.php files.
I'm on a bit of a steep learning curve here right now, so I'm hoping someone will help. Hopefully it's something simple that I'm just not 'getting'.

Thanks much.

Hi Webfaery,

How did you AllowOveride All for the current path??

Thanks
