Trying to install SilverStripe-v2.3.3 from this site under osx leopard (10.5.8 client, intel 2.2 ghz, 4gb ram) with enthropy 5.3.0-3 to get GD.

I enabled mod_rewrite for my home folder by changing 'AllowOverride None' in users/myusername.conf to 'AllowOverride All AuthConfig'. This works because my local Drupal install now has clean urls enabled (mod_rewrite also shows up with phpinfo() and httpd -M)

The result: I get a 403 error for my silverstripe directory and the directory has also disappeared from my indexes in the browser at http://127.0.0.1 ( I also changed my documentroot to my /Users/myusername/Sites - changing this back does not help)

If I remove 'RewriteEngine On' from .htaccess the directory returns.

Installing it without mod_rewrite does not seem to be possible, even after changing the timestamp issue

Is there some other way I have to access my silvestripe directory? some other lead?

TIA

Added 'Options +FollowSymLinks' above ### SILVERSTRIPE START ### in the .htaccess file, that made the installer run its course

However now I get a 'The requested page couldn't be found.' at http://127.0.0.1/_silverstripe/home/successfullyinstalled?flush=1

Maybe this is the error: [Thu Oct 15 13:53:45 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning: unlink(mysite/_config.php): Permission denied in /Users/myusername/Sites/_silverstripe/install.php on line 701, referer: http://127.0.0.1/_silverstripe/install.php

Is one related to the other? I do not know anymore...

mgl, what do the Apache logs show? Most of the time, you'll get a very informative message that can help point you to the problem.
