Error installing .htaccess [SOLVED]

1 Jun 04, 2015 20:59    

Hello,
I tried to install a brand new b2e, and had the same error with 6.4.2-beta-2015-05-18 and 6.4.3-beta-2015-05-27.

At installation (http://mydomain.net/install/index.php?locale=fr-FR&confirmed=0&installer_version=10&action=newdb), it fails at htaccess installation:

Installation de b2evolution...
Vérification des fichiers...
Preparing to install .htaccess ... ERREUR!
connect() timed out! (#28)

It manages to continue installation, but still I don't have a .htaccess.

I tried writing a «welcome» post, but I can't access it from the home page.
It tries to open http://mydomain.net/welcome, and outputs a 404:

Not Found

The requested URL /welcome was not found on this server.

I assumed it's because I don't have redirects, so I used sample.htaccess. Unsuccessfully.
I also tried to uncomment «RewriteBase /», but still it does not change anything.

I run Apache 2.2.22 on Debian 7.8 wheezy.

What more should I try ??

So I assume you have your own dedicated server?

This is basically an Apache configuration issue.

When you say you used `sample.htaccess`... did you rename this file to `.htaccess`?

Are you sure you have mod_rewrite enabled on your apache?

Yes, my own dedicated server.
I renamed the sample to ".htaccess", yes.
I checked my apache for the modules used in the b2e htaccess: php5, dir and rewrite, they are enabled.

I just found my problem: my vhost was «AllowOverride None», forbiding htaccess directives.
It is now solved!

Thanks for your help!

Edit: is there any way to update my topic with [solved]?
