Hi guys,

I have SilverStripe working OK on my Mac using MAMP.

However, when I do an install onto my Server (Unix/Ubuntu), I get the following message:
------
Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.domain.co.uk/InstallerTest
/testrewrite) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request
failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in /home/s/o/domain
/public_html/rewritetest.php on line 47

/public_html/rewritetest.php on line 47
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.

When I select 'Proceed' I am directed to my default index.html page, not SilverStripe.
I think(!) mod_rewrite and AllowOverride are enabled, as I have installed other CMS's on this Server OK.

I'm not sure where to go from here... I am a designer, so go easy on any technical stuff! :-)

Thanks,
Ray
