Hi
Trying to install Silverstripe on an Apache shared virtual hosting setup

I get an internal server error with the following message in the log:


/public_html/silverstripe/.htaccess: Invalid command 'DirectorySlash', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Does this perhaps mean that the mod_dir which runs DirectorySlash is missing from the Apache setp? or could it be a problem with the ability to set rewriting rules in .htaccess files via “Allow Override” ?

thanks

Michael

hmm... not a lot of help coming through here. Have I posted in the wrong forum perhaps?

I sorted this problem myself by simply removing the following lines from the .htaccess file installed by SilverStripe

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectorySlash Off
</IfModule>

perhaps this information will be of use to someone.

Its great to get this impressive CMS working

Hi Michael

It did help on one of my servers two. Of course it would be nice to know, what the thing does - by anyway, it works now...
