Having a few problems with mod_rewrite at the moment on multiple installs.

I know that mod_rewrite is installed and running fine on the servers, but the problem seems to be that the .htaccess file is not being written to, even though I've CHMOD'ed to 777.

Not sure how to address this - any suggestions?

No suggestions at all??

It seems the .htaccess file not being written to when I designate the directory to use mod_rewrite - which I don't understand.

The servers are standard LAMP with mod_rewrite installed which I have running on other software applications, and the issue doesn't seem to be associated with a single server.

Am I really the only person having problems with this??

Or, is it likely a case of my having individually done something wrong to the installs??

If you need me to get someone to take a look, let me know.
You should have to write to the .htaccess too often, so it would make sense to simply upload a good one rather than worry about the write permissions (I don't think anyone will disagree with me on this).

I've also used this for htaccess for a couple of people:

Content visible to registered users only.

And this is the standard one:

Content visible to registered users only.

I've got .htaccess in the root of my phpLD folders (several different installs) and have them set at 644, all work just fine. I don't remember that I had to force writeability when installing, seems it just did what it needed, and that was the end of it.

This is what each of mine includes:
Content visible to registered users only.

I have a couple of installs on servers with php running as cgi, the rest are on servers running php as an apache module, and others are running only on my localhost installs under XAMPP.

Ah, that's great - all working now. :)

For some reason unzipping in Cpanel was leaving me with a blank .htaccess - possibly from not overwriting an existing default - but I'll just ensure this is manually uploaded with the template - many thanks for that again. :)
