Server seems not to be Apache or Apache-compatible, skipping .htaccess test - egret - 2008-07-04
I'm installing ZP for the first time and getting the following warning during the install.
"Server seems not to be Apache or Apache-compatible, skipping .htaccess test"
The server is running Apache version 1.3.41 (Unix)
I have tried using a blank .htaccess file and one with some content but get the same result.
I would like to use the Apache mod_rewrite functionality for simple URLs so i assume i need this working.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Your server seems not to be identifying itself.
There is code in setup.php circa line 546 that checks this.
` if (!stristr($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], "apache") && !stristr($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], "litespeed")) {
checkMark(-1, gettext("Server seems not to be Apache or Apache-compatible, skipping [code].htaccess[/code] test"), "", "");
} else {`
You can change the if statement to `if (false) {` and setup will process the .htaccess file. Alternatively, you can manually edit the file and set mod_rewrite in the admin gallery options tab.

I changed the "if" statement as suggested and the install worked well. Thank you
