i know there are other forms out there but 000webhost claims that it is enabled.
do u just rename htaccess_dist to .htaccess and it lets you go to the next step?
ok.
Read all they write in their FAQ:
In docs, it says to rename
htaccess_dist
to.htaccess
.But, after Ben claims he did it, the
Next
button isn't showing up.Anyone There?
You only need to create .htaccess on your own (using htaccess_dist) if Elgg can't create it itself. The main reason creation of .htaccess fails is due to permission issues.
But...
In case of this installation something else seems not alright as there are the errors shown above:
DO NOT SET PERMISSIONS OF THE ELGG ROOT DIRECTORY (PUBLIC_HTML) OR ANY SUBDIRECTORIES OF THIS FOLDER TO PERMISSIONS 777!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Permissions 777 for public_html or anything inside this folder will allow EVERYONE to modify what's inside this folder via Internet. There're nowhere any instructions to set the Elgg root folder to 777 but only the data folder which needs to be OUTSIDE the document root folder / Elgg root folder (what's exposed to the Internet).
This is only a neutral statement and does not mean there's any problem with using Apache (on the contrary Apache is the only webserver officially suggested for Elgg). It only means Elgg thinks that Apache is used and therefore the issues listed in the following are the likely causes why Elgg can't be installed properly. In case Elgg is wrong in the first place in guessing that Apache is used the following possible causes are less likely - but then you need to figure out on your own what might be to do.
But if you use Apache on your server and Elgg does not properly install I would suggest to try solving the issues listed by Elgg first and not trying to make any other changes that are neither listed nor adviceable.
FIXED IT. Topic closed ;-)
