    Default Yellow alert at setup: "Apache .htaccess Support = OFF"

    Am installing v1.5.0 on Dreamhost. Just got to the system Inspection page, ie ...zc_install/index.php?main_page=inspect. All green checkmarks except for one yellow "!" about "Apache .htaccess Support = OFF"

    I have a .htaccess file in the domain root which prevents access from anywhere but my office IP address - to keep the site secure until I'm done. Could that be the problem here? If so, that shouldn't restrict what I can do from my office, right?

    A little more, after looking at some existing forum threads. Here are the existing .htaccess files under the install root:
    find . -name \.htaccess -print
    ./media/.htaccess
    ./email/.htaccess
    ./pub/.htaccess
    ./editors/.htaccess
    ./docs/.htaccess
    ./images/uploads/.htaccess
    ./images/.htaccess
    ./cache/.htaccess
    ./includes/classes/support/.htaccess
    ./includes/modules/payment/linkpoint_api/.htaccess
    ./includes/modules/payment/paypal/logs/.htaccess
    ./includes/.htaccess
    ./download/.htaccess
    ./extras/.htaccess
    ./admin/includes/.htaccess
    ./admin/.htaccess
    ./zc_install/.htaccess

    Which of these is likely to be the problem? Might there be something wrong with file permissions, or with file contents?

    Problem solved. I renamed my root .htaccess file to a backup, and the installation ran to completion. Have now renamed it back to .htaccess, to restrict access during zencart setup.

    Simple answer: none of them are related to your problem.

    Correct. Your own custom-added .htaccess was the culprit.
