    Hi,

    I've been trying to install the new version locally but it says that my server doesn't support mod_rewrite (thing that is not true). I wanted to know if this is a bug and if someone can provide me a standard .htaccess file for this new version in order to start trying it.

    Thanks,
    Juan.

    Maybe a support ticket is best. i did not experience this with 4.0 install, but bluehost in my case.

    Hi Juan,
    the .htaccess file is included into aMember distribution and located in the root folder.

    Thanks for your messages. The problem was that macOS hides the .htaccess files by default, so when copying the files for the new install, it wasn't there. And amember, by default it throws a message saying that the server doesn't support mod_rewrite (which in this case is false).

    Maybe a good solution would be checking if the file(.htaccess) is there and if it's not, creating the .htaccess file during the install through a php script.

    It's just a few lines of code and you'll save on future tickets or forum posts.

    Cheers,
    Juan.
