I just installed version 2.0.1 on my remote server and I'm getting these messages, first:

mod_rewrite doesn't appear to be working. Make sure:

* mod_rewrite is enabled in your httpd.conf
* AllowOverride is enabled for the current path.

Please check these options, then refresh this page.If you believe that your configuration is correct, click here to proceed anyway.

Then when I click the link to proceed, I get:

Forced continue, attempting to redirect to home/successfullyinstalled

It then immediately refreshes to a page with a Not Found error that says that sapphire/main.php was not found and that a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Everything was fine with the install up until this point there were no warnings in the check once I specified the correct database info.

I verified that mod_rewrite is enabled. I do not have access to make Apache configuration changes. What should I do?

Thanks. Making that correction fixed it. I think the problem is that I just signed up for this hosting account and I have to access it with a temporary url. It took trial and error. But it worked when I used everything that appears between "hosting.com/" and "silverstripe/saphire/main.php" from the temporary url to modify my .htaccess file as you suggested. Thanks for your help.

I'll probably have to set it back to normal after my domain name has propagated and I can start using it instead of the temp url.

Thanks again.
