"mod Rewrite Is Not Enabled, Or Htaccess Is Not Supported By This Server. "

[Valaris]

I've been struggling with this for a few hours and not sure what else to do besides removing the .htaccess file. I'm trying to setup Blesta on a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04.1 Server VM with Apache/2.2.22 and PHP/5.3.10-1 for development purposes. I've even gone as far as wiping the VM and starting from scratch. I have all of the required packages and mods installed per the wiki. I tried with both the the required and recommended list. I am using a default virtualhost configuration files with all of the AllowOverride's set to All and have verifed that mod_rewrite is enabled with phpinfo(); I've created my own .htaccess file to verify that this mod_rewrite is indeed working on it's own and I can see that Blesta's .htaccess is masking the .php files properly. I've attached a screenshot showing my address bar and the error page. I've attempted this using local browsers, browsers on my LAN and browsers over WAN. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you. I am not sure why, but your default worked. I'll do a compare later and try to figure out what the problem was.

Is option "+followsymlinks" enabled in apache for your site?

[Paul]

Look in your httpd.conf file for "AllowOverride", make sure it's set to All for the directory or vhost you have Blesta uploaded to.

 

AllowOverride All

 

Then restart Apache

[Valaris]

I'm just using the default config in the sites-available directory modified for AllowOverride set to All.

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /var/www
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All

        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

Change this row:

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

to

Options Indexes +FollowSymLinks MultiViews

[Valaris]

Changed and restarted Apache. Still no go.

[Anton Qcl]

Try to change this row too:

Options FollowSymLinks

to

Options +FollowSymLinks

Final version:

DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
Options +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes +FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

[Valaris]

Yep, that's what I tried.

        DocumentRoot /var/www
        <Directory />
                Options +FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes +FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

Not sure if this is any help but check out: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/945047/htaccess-not-working-mod-rewrite

[Moby2000]

Try this

 

Options +FollowSymLinks

Change to..

Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

I'll have a look but I think I'm just going to try another distro before going through all of that.

 

 

Try this

 

Options +FollowSymLinks

Change to..

Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
