Hi boys,

I have a problem to install SS on my virtual server.
I have alredy post some question about this in another topic.
My server is an image of ubuntu 6.0.6.1, virtualized by vmware. In this server i install php5 and apache2 (with mod_rewrite).

I download from this site SS cms install package, i gunzip and xtar this. I point with my browser index.php ant try to install, but SS tell me that the mod_rewrite not work propertly and after this it redirect browser to the <ipaddress>/myfolder/InstallTest/testrewrite that not exists on my server.

Please help me, where is the problem? I follow all the instruction...

Probably in a newby question, but i can't find any solution.

I attach to this post, my php info file, the apache configuration file and the page where i see the error.

Thanks thanks thanks in advance.
Luca.

Sorry if i post every hour...
I think that my problem is in apache2 configuration, in fact i am a very newby in apache2.

As you can see in my phpinfo file, mod_rewrite is correctly loaded, so i think that is incorrectly configured. (I must think this).

What i must do? I try all possibility!

The last one is this:

And in my /var/www:
root@ubuntu:/var/www# more .htaccess
AllowOverride All
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase \

The problem is in your apache config.

In the section "<Directory /var/www/>"

Change this:
AllowOverride None

To this:
AllowOverride All
