Oxid shop and Apache mod rewrite installation issues

Posted by branko on Jun 28th, 2009 in Magento | Comments

I was playing with Oxid shop – Community Edition, version 4.1.3_19918, this morning. Got stuck on installation step for about 10 minutes. Installation screen kept showing me that I have no Apache mod rewrite, although I was sure I do.

The issue was really trivial, but can make you wonder why. What I did is to copy pate all un-archived files from OXID_ESHOP_CE_4.1.3_19918.zip to my local web server folder. Since I copied from graphical interface Gnome i forgot to turn on “Show hidden files”. This in turn omitted .htaccess file from being copied along other files. Just copy paste the Oxid’s .htaccess along other files and you should be ok.

    Thank you a lot, a lot!
    You saved my day!
    I am really noob on linux so thank you again!
  • The most simple way to find that out is probably to download and install the OXID eShop. For testing purposes or as a development environment you may want to download the prepared VMware from oxidforge.org.
    Have a look at the code and enjoy :-)
  • I'd also love to hear a comparison of the two.
  • So whats your impression on Oxid Shop Branko? Share your thoughts.. it would be interesting to get some comparison with Magento if its possible :)
