1.3.9 .htaccess problems: Installation does not start. Internal server error 500.

[jarsa]

Installation does not start. Internal server error 500.
Had to edit httpd.conf to get things working.

This was first time I saw this with Zencart, so I just wanted to mention it.

apache error-log ->
zc_install/.htaccess: DirectoryIndex not allowed here
zc_install/.htaccess: Options not allowed here

Webserver = Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu)
PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.10 with Suhosin-Patch

All the many .htaccess protections require that your httpd.conf settings allow you to use AllowOverride capability in your .htaccess files.

You must include either 'All', or all of these: 'Limit Options Indexes' parameters to the AllowOverride configuration in your apache/conf/httpd.conf file
