I have installed on a new server running CentOS 5.3 64-bit. I installed to the Apache root '/var/www/html'. There were no errors during installation. Creating and viewing a blog seems to work correctly however I cannot view any pictures. After researching the forums I'm leaning toward a problem with htaccess or mod_rewrite.so. I have discovered that htaccess does not exist on my server, only htaccess.dist. Could this be the problem? Can I create it manually or rename htaccess.dist?
Here are the statements from /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf for mod_rewrite and VirtualHost.
LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
ServerName thejcstar.com
ServerAlias *.thejcstar.com
<Directory "/var/www/html">
AllowOverride FileInfo Options
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
