    Hi All

    During the installation after extracting the package, I got

    Rewrite Module Cannot be checked

    even I check that LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so is enabled on my httpd.conf

    I'm using centos with apache.

    see attached file.

    Any idea?

    hi,

    rewrite module detection does not work if you are using PHP as CGI.

    Hi,

    what do you mean by using PHP as CGI?

    if yes how to resolve it?

    I'm using ispCP OMEGA as a hosting package for my server.

    just ignore it. Installation wizard allows you do next step.

    the home page is ok. You need to restore .htaceess and tune rewrite rules for your environment

    thanks,

    I tested rewriting feature on my apache and I succeed but campsite didn't detected it.

    so how to tune rewrite rules?

    I saw the installation requirements and seemed applied on my apache server, what to do else?

    and how to diagnostic?

    there are two main rules: 
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]
    and
    RewriteRule . admin.php [L]

    try to add slashes:
    RewriteRule . /admin.php

    try with commented
    #DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

    I dont't know exactly what's wrong. In some cases the server environment doesn't accept standard htaccess instructions.

    I tried all, nothing helped, I think the main problem in this case the "Rewrite Module, cannot detect" that detected during installation!!!!!!

    As I told the function which returns an apache module list doesn't work in CGI environment. Forget about detection. It's a normal behavior of installation on shared hosting. You should test standard rewrite rules to check how is working the rewrite module on your hosting. You can also ask the hoster's support.
