Having used Processwire 1.0 - aka Dictator - for some 7 years now without a single hiccough or security issue - and no patches! - I know that PW is worth it - so thanks for caring enough TO resolve it! FWIW, why would you ever have "~" in your path? This is a dev server that I don't care to ever have as an actual domain - and the "IP/~account" is Apache's way of accessing account directories created in the home folder...so I'll probably do it again - glad it's an easy, top down "fix". Malheur on my tab next time I'm there!

It sure is acting that way, but it's on... So what about DNS stuff; does PW care about any of that? Wouldn't it work from the IP regardless of the DNS stuff? It certainly does the install and the main page...maybe I'll try it on the root and see what happens...will let you know.

I did get the 500 error; but then adding either RewriteBase options I still get: The requested URL /~theameri/process/about/ was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. (or The requested URL /~theameri/process/processwire was not found on this server.) :/

Well, it fixed the main page, but the admin stuff isn't there Just a 404 @ /~theameri/process/processwire/ -- as are all the other pages in the main template (about/site-map/templates)...Do I manually correct them in lines 50-54? Weird that only the main page is working but sure that means something...

Making that the new line for 48 worked! Installer launched right away...sweet.

I'm having a similar "install" issue. On a fresh whm/cpanel account with a new download from github of PW I get: "Unable to complete this request due to an error" Again, on a new account created on a VPS from Servint; running WHM/Cpanel/apache who's path would normally be IP/~account/whatever.x The VPS is new for dev; for a domain that already exists; poking path directly is only option (IP/howeverIhavetotypetoseeOnweb) Using test.php RootPath:/home/theameri/public_html/process NewRootPath:/home/theameri/public_html/process HTTP_HOST:64.6x.xx.xxx DOCUMENT_ROOT:/usr/local/apache/htdocs RootURL:ml/process/ Adding ~ to line 110 of the .htaccess: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "^[-_.a-zA-Z0-9/~]*$" doesn't help. Making line 46 of index.php $rootURL = '/~theameri/' or $rootURL = '/~theameri/process/' doesn't do it either. I can run the installer directly (install.php) and everything checks ok; but then the site itself is missing all the css and images/and there is nothing available in the admin page ... I've installed pw successfully on another server; where can I check to make sure mod_rewrite is on? I can recompile apache/php - have twice, but am easily missing something... Thanks
