Hi Dmizer,
The .htaccess file is found in the zenario root directory:

Note that it is a hidden file so you need to include the -a option when listing files.

Hope that helps

Ok ... how do I correctly parse text here? This is maddening.
Nope:

Turned on "Use mod_rewrite" in the Site settings, and now my whole site is broken. I'm getting a 404, presumably because I have no htaccess file.

htaccess file attached.
Make sure you rename to .htaccess
Hope that helps,

Thanks for that.
Completely hosed my install. Even with the .htaccess file in place, it was impossible to reach my site. Upon reinstall (with your included .htaccess file) the install script still says that friendly URLs are not supported:
Friendly URLs are not supported (this is optional, but recommended). Please check your Apache configuration (that the mod_rewrite module is enabled), and that your Zenario directory contains the .htaccess file.
I assume this is what borked my previous install. Any further ideas?

Sorry, I really can't figure out how to format terminal text output correctly on this forum.

Hi dmizer!
I think there are two problems here. Obviously you're having problems pasting things from your Linux terminal into this forum. I'm sorry about that. May I just ask, are you using a Mac or Windows to connect to Linux via ssh? Or are you using a Linux machine directly?
Thanks for your patience with that, if you can let us know, that will help us write a patch for the forum.
Then the main problem, about using your site. A number of things need to be in place in order for .htaccess to be read.
For a start, you must have Apache to be permitted to actually pay attention to .htaccess files. That is probably done in either a global apache.conf file, or in a virtual host file, like I have here:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yoursite.tribalsystems.uk
ServerAdmin you@yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/clients/yoursite/public_html
<Directory /var/www/clients/yoursite/public_html/>
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Notice that line "AllowOverride All", it is often set to "None", in which case Apache is being told to not follow any instructions from .htaccess.
Apart from that as you've spotted you must have mod_rewrite enabled (which you seem to).
Does that help?

I'm using a Linux machine directly, but my server is running in a VM, so I'm also copying text from a terminal connected via SSH.
For a start, you must have Apache to be permitted to actually pay attention to .htaccess files. That is probably done in either a global apache.conf file, or in a virtual host file, like I have here:
I completely forgot about creating a virtual hosts file. I've been using lighttp for so long I've forgotten a lot about Apache. I feel like an idiot now. Thanks for the help.

Sorry about that, it was just a little bug in our forums, it should be fixed now!
After running the install module on zenario 7.1.2, I get a message that states:
mod_rewrite is enabled in apache:

$ whereis htaccess.txthtaccess:I'm not sure how to resolve this as there's no further documentation on the htaccess file that I can find despite copious amounts of googling.
