Hello,

When I want to install silverstripe i get this message:

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.

What can I do about this? I also can't find the httpd.conf file.

Greetz,
Jeroen

What type of server are you trying to setup - like on your computer or a webserver?. If you are on the linux host the httpd.conf file is usually in /etc/apache2/. You will need to make sure AllowOverride is on in that (if you can't access or edit that file you will need to talk to your host)

I use a webhosting service by a extern company so it's on a webserver. I have no idea if they use Linux or Windows servers. I think the use Linux.

So I need to contact my webhoster? I find it kinda strange because I did more SilverStripe installations before and everything worked fine. Maybe it has to do with a SS update or something.

Greetz,
Jeroen

in your htacces file, add this lines

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

I have same problem with JSD1985. I want install SS on my computer, I get this message :

mod_rewrite enabled You need mod_rewrite to run SilverStripe CMS, but it is not enabled.

what is the solution for my problem?

regadrs,

Hey pace obed, open your htacces and put the lines:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

save your htacces, and try again.

@d-virus, I have add your script like this :
### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<Files *.ss>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif)|(\.jpg)|(\.png)|(\.css)|(\.js)|(\.php)$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

but still error. any idea?

Please put the lines before silverstripe start:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<Files *.ss>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif)|(\.jpg)|(\.png)|(\.css)|(\.js)|(\.php)$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###
