Just been tracking SilverStripe development for the last few months and noted that it requires mod_rewrite to be enabled as part of the installation.
Whilst this may be good for server rollouts as Apache dependence is a good thing, it does upset my local development environment as XAMPP running mod_rewrite, with SilverStripe and about two dozen other CMSes on the same base does tend to throw a few hiccups.
Dev specs:
XAMPP 1.55 for Wintel
Is there any way that SilverStripe can be installed without dependence on mod_rewrite ?
