Don't really know how i did it but it's fixed

I installed apache 1.3.29 / php4.3.4
Changed the permissions to 777 www.www on the directory
and it could create the .htaccess file

The cause was maybe something of both worlds...
I'm happy now! Thanks

Tried to install, filled everything in correctly.

Database is ok, but it hangs on
Attemping to write .htaccess file...

Tried every possible owner/permission... still does nothing

Any idea?

Thanks for the reply

I changed the code you suggested and now I can get into the installer.

I also tried with the unchanged code and with
<Directory "/path/to/blog">
AllowOverride
</Directory>
but that gives the same problem.

I'm currently using 1.3.29 and php 4.2.3

I'll try to install it with ...

Tried the latest CVS version, still doesn't work

Should I upgrade apache or something?

Hello,

I'm running into the same problem as Kylix but with Freebsd.

I extracted the archive, try to install but all i get is:

"Serendipity installation"

I tried to hit stop with mozilla and IE but i don't get any script output.
I have apache 1.3.26 / php4.2.3 / mysql 3.23.52 / freebsd 4.6.2 ...
