Chmod at install

accessdev Total Posts: 2 Joined: 2007-09-03 Montpellier France Ignore user	Hi, I read the installation post on this forum does chmod 777 is necessary for install i run apache as user www-data and my ftp account is under user1:www-data so usually chmod 775 is ok for all operation from php scripts and ssh / ftp account anyway i get 404 errors after the install -http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/mg08/checkout/cart/ --> not found -http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/mg08/customer/account/login/ -> not found i suppose this is a rewrite problem , but i checked use rewrite on install and mod_rewrite is enabled on my server does using a subdomain (sub.maindomain.com) may causes this problem ?

Please make sure that Finder displays hidden files before uploading Magento to web-server (Files with a ‘.’ at the start are invisible in the Mac OS finder, so it is likely you will miss this file if you copy the files out of the original folder. You can use the terminal to copy the file to the correct location if you need too) You can also find the Magento root folder .htaccess file contents below: ############################################ ## uncomment these lines for CGI mode ## make sure to specify the correct cgi php binary file name ## it might be /cgi-bin/php-cgi #Action php5-cgi /cgi-bin/php5-cgi #AddHandler php5-cgi .php ############################################ ## this line is specific for 1and1 hosting #AddType x-mapp-php5 .php ############################################ ## default index file DirectoryIndex index.php <IfModule mod_php5.c> ############################################ ## adjust memory limit php_value memory_limit 32M php_value max_execution_time 18000 ############################################ ## disable magic quotes for php request vars php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off ############################################ ## enable php short tags for templates php_flag short_open_tag on </IfModule> <IfModule mod_ssl.c> ############################################ ## make HTTPS env vars available for CGI mode SSLOptions StdEnvVars </IfModule> <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> ############################################ ## enable rewrites Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on ############################################ ## you can put here your magento root folder path relative to web root #RewriteBase /magento/ ############################################ ## workaround for HTTP authorization in CGI environment RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}] ############################################ ## always send 404 on missing files in these folders RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(media\|skin\|js)/ ############################################ ## never rewrite for existing files, directories and links RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l ############################################ ## rewrite everything else to index.php RewriteRule .* index.php [L] </IfModule> ############################################ ## Prevent character encoding issues from server overrides ## If you still have problems, use the second line instead AddDefaultCharset Off #AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 Order allow,deny Allow from all
