Problems after hitting Submit on new install

Post by gawing »

The setup page loads fine, and I'm able to enter all of the fields. After entering the user information and I hit Submit to start the install, it redirects me to:
http://servername/faq/setup/install
The installation is at /faq and when installing, I go to /faq/setup
When it redirects to /faq/setup/install I get a Not Found - The requested URL was not found on this server
This folder doesn't exist.

Hi,

seems like the rewrite rules in the .htaccess file are not working or the .htaccess file cannot be accessed by Apache. Do you see any errors in the error log of Apache?

I just figured it out. I didn't have AllowOverride set properly. Then when I set it to None, I had a 500 Server Error.
The error log showed a problem with php_value. I had to create a php.ini file, and after that I was able to successfully install it.
