Hello Community,

I have made a website with Silverstripe locally on my computer, that went very good. Now I have a live domain and want to install SilverStripe.
I get this warning when I want to install Silverstripe:

URL rewriting support: You need mod_rewrite to use friendly URLs with SilverStripe, but it is not enabled.

I have had contact with the helpdesk of my hosting provider. They have told me that Mod_rewrite is enabled, but i had to put it in the .htaccess, but it is already in that file by standard. So I replied with the following note: To put AllowOveride all on. They said this is not possible because they are a shared webhosting concept, and that Mod_Rewrite should be enough and that it is activated.

Is there a way to succesfully resolve this warning?

Thanks in advance,
Vincent

Provided that Mod_Rewrite is enabled that should be enough as long as the .htaccess files is correctly configured.

I used to get this error in my local environment all the time, but editing the .htaccess file to the correct path (ie "/") should take things back to the root directory where index.php lives.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your answer Arthurdent.
I have the installation files in the root of my live domain: /Public/Sites/www.domain.nl/

I don't have the knowledge if this .htaccess file is configured properly.
Can you tell me what it should be if it is not alright?

Vincent.
