    Hi. It should be writable by the SilverStripe installer script. After installation it doesn't need write permissions.
    So, you should set the permissions in a way, that the "apache user" has write access.. 777 to be on the save side

    Strange, the installation page shows a 500 internal server if htaccess is there.

    If I delete htaccess the installation page shows this:

    User 'mydomain' needs to be able to write to this file:
    /home/fhlinux132/s/mydomain/user/htdocs/.htaccess

    The file is currently owned by 'root'. There is no user-group that contains both the web-server user and the owner of this file. Change the ownership of the file, create a new group, or temporarily make the file writeable by everyone during the install process.
