Topic: Installing SilverStripe on 7.3

[PhilTempleton]

Problem: I get so far as to start the install from the http://hostname/silverstripe/install.php

Webserver Configuration
Server software   I can't tell what webserver you are running. Without Apache I can't tell if mod_rewrite is enabled.
mod_rewrite enabled   I can't tell whether mod_rewrite is running. You may need to configure a rewriting rule yourself.

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.

Please check these options, then refresh this page.If you believe that your configuration is correct, click here to proceed anyway.

I proceed and then, I get a message saying everything was successfuly installed, but then this:

"The requested URL /silver/home/successfullyinstalled was not found on this server."

I'm sure mod_rewrite is enabled, here is an excerpt from /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

However, I have tested the Alice and Bob example http://www.workingwith.me.uk/articles/scripting/mod_rewrite. (the redirection is not working in the example isn't working).

I'm new to theLinux environment, but have managed this far.. I'd appreciate some help with this.

PHP 5.1.2
MySQL 4.1.20

The server runs Apache

This is my .htaccess

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /silver

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]

### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

AllowOverride is enabled for the current path is set to allowoveride all
Here is mod_rewrite details from /etc/httpd/admin-conf/httpd.conf and /etc/http/con/httpd.conf LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

All help appreciated. Anyone with experience on this?

This is a forum dedicated to SME Server, are you sure you are using SME Server? If you are trying to install this on SME Server you should have apache by default, but the default SME Server does not come with php5 but with php4, so you will have a hard time getting required product to run on SME Server as dependencies are not met.

Hello,

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I', running SME 7.3. I have upgrade PHP to version 5.x.x and I'm aware that the server is running Apache.
I was putting out the feelers to see if anyone else had attempted to run the SilverStripe CMS http://www.silverstripe.com over the top of SME 7.3.
