Hi All,
This is one of the first times I have tried installing SilverStripe on an external server and I've run into an issue where the installer is saying that Apache mod_rewrite is not installed, but when I test it is working as you would expect.
Here is a link or two which might help.
INSTALLER - if you just go to the root it shows a default "no site" landing page
[url=http://sarangvacationhomes.com/install.php]http://sarangvacationhomes.com/install.php
TEST OF MOD REWRITE
[url=http://sarangvacationhomes.com/TEST/hellovariable.html]http://sarangvacationhomes.com/TEST/hellovariable.html
REWRITE RULE in /TEST/.htacess
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^hello([^/]*).html$ index.php?link=$1 [L]
PHP CODE in /TEST/index.php
<?php
echo "THIS IS index.php<hr/>";
echo "THE VARIABLE PASSED IS VIA THE URL IS {$_GET['link']}";
?>
Here is the set up of the server
[url=http://sarangvacationhomes.com/test.php]http://sarangvacationhomes.com/test.php
If anyone could help point me in the right direction for debugging and getting this working I would be very grateful.
Cheers,
Colin
