I tried installing the latest 2.0.1rc4 on a RedHat Linux server and got the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_http_output() in /home/username/public_html/sapphire/main.php on line 10

Also, I have mod_rewrite successfully working on the server (I have other sites running on the server in virtual host accounts that use mod_rewrite with no problems). But I had to fast-forward past the mod_rewrite check page because it didn't recognize that mod_rewrite was working on the server. I used 2.0.1rc4 because 2.0.1rc3 had the same mod_rewrite error but I couldn't fast-forward past it.

Environment: RedHat Fedora3, Apache 1.3.37, MySQL 4.1.21, PHP 5.1.6. I've tried setting the permissions for /public_html to be owned by the apache user, the account user, chmod 755, chmod 777, etc., all the usual stuff.

Has anyone else had this problem? Or maybe a solution (some file that isn't being included properly or a permissions problem or something?)

Thanks! :)

Blackie, we've patched this minor fix (which will ensure lots more people have fussfree installations...);

Hi!

Andy: No, no authentication needed on this account. I downloaded the new rc5 (I missed your reply for some reason, probably a Firefox cache thing...) I have AllowOverride set to All globally in httpd.conf, plus I added an entry specifically for this virtual domain directory.

Sigurd: This worked perfectly! Installation took about 15 seconds, including copying all the files to the userdir!

Can't wait to get working on testing this baby out!! :)

Awesome. Put your work in the showcase when you get to that point, and let us know if get any insight into why the modrewrite test was sending a false negative.

Will do. I'm impressed with the installer. I had to reinstall my Windows on my desktop this week, and compared to any programs I had to reinstall, this was easier and quicker than any of them!

Hey guys I'm back ;)

RC5 still gives the mod_rewrite error.

Heya poudersteam, did we get to the bottom of your mod_rewrite problem?
(I don't think anything in RC6 would have fixed this issue, afaik)
