This could be the result of one of our Apache directives not being
|
||||
supported by your version of Apache. Examine your apache server logs.
|
||||
You might remove the line "Options -Indexes" from the .htaccess file if
|
||||
you are using a Windows server as this has been known to cause problems.
|
||||
Also check your file permissions. Your website and all contents must generally
|
||||
be world-readable.
|

#####################################################################
|
||||
|
||||
First check your file permissions. Your website and all contents must
|
||||
generally be world-readable.
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure that mod-rewite is installed and working, and that your
|
||||
.htaccess file is being used. To verify the latter, create a file test.out
|
||||
containing the word "test" in the top directory of Friendika, make it world
|
||||
readable and point your web browser to
|
||||
|
||||
http://yoursitenamehere.com/test.out
|
||||
|
||||
This file should be blocked. You should get a permission denied message.
|
||||
|
||||
If you see the word "test" your Apache configuration is not allowing
|
||||
your .htaccess file to be used (there are rules in this file to block access
|
||||
to any file with .out at the end, as these are typically used for system logs).
|
||||
|
||||
Make certain the .htaccess file exists and is readable by everybody, then
|
||||
look for the existence of "AllowOverride None" in the Apache server
|
||||
configuration for your site. This will need to be changed to
|
||||
"AllowOverride All".
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not see the word "test", your .htaccess is working, but it is
|
||||
likely that mod-rewrite is not installed in your web server or is not working.
|
||||
|
||||
On most flavour of Linux,
|
||||
|
||||
% a2enmod rewrite
|
||||
% /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
|
||||
|
||||
Consult your hosting provider, experts on your particular Linux
|
||||
distribution or (if Windows) the provider of your Apache server software if
|
||||
you need to change either of these and can not figure out how. There is
|
||||
a lot of help available on the web. Google "mod-rewrite" along with the
|
||||
name of your operating system distribution or Apache package (if using
|
||||
Windows).

- If you are unable to write the file .htconfig.php during installation
|
||||
due to permissions issues:
|
||||
#####################################################################
|
||||
|
||||
create an empty file with that name and give it world-write permission.
|
||||
For Linux:
|
||||
|
||||
% touch .htconfig.php
|
||||
% chmod 777 .htconfig.php
|
||||
|
||||
Retry the installation. As soon as the database has been created,
|
||||
|
||||
******* this is important *********
|
||||
|
||||
% chmod 755 .htconfig.php
