Hi, when I try to install ss from install.php the initial system check shows this:

File permissionsDoes the webserver know where files are stored?   OK (/srv/www/)
mysite/ folder exists   OK
sapphire/ folder exists   OK
cms/ folder exists   OK
jsparty/ folder exists   OK
Is the .htaccess file writeable?   OK
Is the mysite/_config.php file writeable?   OK
Is the assets/ folder writeable?   OK
Is the temporary folder writeable?   OK

Webserver ConfigurationServer software   OK (Apache/2.2.10 (Linux/SUSE) Server at localhost Port 80)
mod_rewrite enabled   OK

But when I install it shows this error:

Friendly URLs are not working. This is most likely because mod_rewrite isn't configuredcorrectly on your site. Please check the following things in your Apache configuration; you may need to get your web host or server administrator to do this for you:
mod_rewrite is enabled
AllowOverride All is set for your directory

As you can see from above, it's openSuse (11.1) and Apache 2.2.10

In yast's http server configuration it has these two lines:
Option - Include; Value /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf
Option - Include; Value /etc/apache2/conf.d/apache2-manual?conf

I've edited default-server.conf, which shows the Directory as /srv/www/htdocs (Which is, indeed, where SS is stored) and changed the AllowOverride None line to AllowOverride All, saved, restarted Apache and... it's the same.

So, I've tried also editing /etc/apache2/conf.d/apache2-manual.conf, which now has:

<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs">
Options Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

(Previously Directory pointed to a manual directory)

and I also edited /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

# forbid access to the entire filesystem by default
<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs">
Options None
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

In which it was previously <Directory />

And in both of those files I have changed None to All

I have restarted apache after the changes and it doesn't work so I am now well and truly stuck, what am I missing?

Thanks

It was user error, extracting files into the wrong directory - sorry!
