mod_rewrite not working?

[CCPeterE]

ChurchCRM v2.2.2
Apache Linux shared hosting
MySQL v5.5.48
PhP v5.6

New UK instal. Setup.php indicates mod_rewrite isn't enabled but host (Namesco.co.uk) says it is and a test script within a modified .htaccess gives this result: "mod_rewrite is working! You used the path /churchcrm/ to request this page" - both modified and standard .htaccess (from ChurchCRM files) have RewriteEngine On.

Ignoring Setup warning and continuing with the instal, Admin password change etc. gives main ChurchCRM home page but no menu selections work and many give an HTTP 500 error: "The www.churchname.org.uk page isn’t working, www.churchname.org.uk is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500"

I'm pretty sure this is a mod_rewrite issue, fresh instals with a new db give the same result. I have not installed ChurchCRM on this host before but have had various versions of it (and ChurchInfo) running on a different host without issues whilst we evaluated it.

Grateful for advice!

Many thanks

Can you give an example of the 500 errors you are getting. also please ensure that you download the relase zip file not the source code.

[CCPeterE]

Many thanks, same but uninformative error for all '500s here, this one produced by clicking on the cart:
Http 500 error chrome.pdf
Http 500 error IE.pdf
Release zipfile came from here: https://github.com/ChurchCRM/CRM/releases/tag/2.2.2
Logging is enabled in the config file:-
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// Rather than display errors on the screen it is more secure to
// send error messages to a file. Make sure that your web
// server has permission to write to this file.
// Warning: The error_log file can grow very large over time.
ini_set('log_errors', 1);
ini_set('error_log','/logs/ChurchCRM.log');
but no log file...
Would you like me to PM you with the URL and login? This ChurchCRM is a test instance so the db is empty - no personal data.
Thanks...

This is still an issue for me, I am unable to get ChurchCRM working because of this on my chosen host; as before no menu selections work and many give an HTTP 500 error: "The www.churchname.org.uk page isn’t working, www.churchname.org.uk is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500"

[Jimboer]

I dont have the issue with error 500, only this warning. Churchcrm is working good.

[DawoudIO]

500 errors tend to be due to file perm make sure it is 755 and owned by the correct system...

see http://docs.churchcrm.io/en/latest/Installation/CentOS7/

[CCPeterE]

Yes, that was the problem - odd as I'd already changed the perms to 755 before but, I suspect that I had missed some files or goofed, no matter working fine now.
Many thanks for your help!

I have the same issue as Jimboer. The "Mod rewrite" failed during initial Setup Wizard but the site is working after completely setup. My site has the same screenshot that unmet prerequisites that mod_rewrite failed but integrity check passed. I have confirmed that .htaccess (from ChurchCRM files) have RewriteEngine On on the first line.

I am running the latest version 2.10.1 but still have this issue. What is solution to this issue?

Hello there i have been trying to install ChurchCRM for two days , but i still cannot find the solution to the this Mod Rewrite on Installation Stage . if there is any one with the solution please send the mail to me at [email protected]

[DawoudIO]

@mukengami please contact your hosting provider for support as it is hard for us to debug if you are on a shared hosted system

[mukengami]

Hello there , its not a shared system sir. we are trying to install it on the local CentOS 7 with PHP 7.2 , we want to set it up so that we can teach the users before going live. but now i am stack on the installation stage . any help will be very grateful. Thank you .
