Replying my own question;

I found something. Please check this article;

http://cubiksoundz.blogspot.com/2008/12/tech-note-installing-silverstripe-cms.html

I have changed the install.php according to this article. Removed the following lines from install.php which is added to .htaccess file during the file creation;

<Files *.ss>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
$baseClause

Voila! Installation was successful! URL Rewrite is working, contact-us, about-us links work great!

But.. now there are some other problems;

1. Admin link doesn't work. Even the link http://www.barakahost.com/sapphire/main.php?url=main is not working at all.

2. I can access the login page via the link " http://www.barakahost.com/Security/login " but after entering password it just waits for a long time and I get the error "CGI Timeout. The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The server has deleted the process."

And I can't go further. Installation is done, some URL rewrite works but not all.

Would you help me guys to go further and solve this problem?

Hello,

I had given up after trying a lot of times with the silverstripe v2.3.2 and given myself a long break . Now I tried it with 2.3.3 and no luck. Nothing changed so far.

Replying your question;

No, I didn't delete the line, just modified it according to the tutorial. here is my .htaccess file.

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<Files *.ss>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif$)|(\.jpg$)|(\.png$)|(\.css$)|(\.js$)

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

As you can see, the only difference is in the last rewriterule, changed .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1 into (.*) sapphire/main.php?url=$1

That's it. Installation works, but admin link doesn't!

By the way, the site is on a shared hosting. If this will help.

For now, I am done that I am not able to go further from here. Any help would be appreciated from anybody who could install silverstripe on a shared windows hosting and make it really work.

Hope there is someone out there.

Hello,

Thanks for reply. I had given up fighting with the installation of silverstripe quite a long time ago because I thought it would never work on a shared hosting.

I tried your advices, my friend, unfortunately helpless. This silverstripe is stable, works fine on a local server but unfortunately not on a shared hosting. At least it didn't work work for me on several shared hostings I tried on.

And apparently, the developers of silverstripe doesn't care much about that. Anyway, as I said I have already given up and been using other free and much more stable tools.

Thanks anyway.
