[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. copy rsslounge to /var/www
2. unzip rsslounge
3. chmod +r config data/cache data/favicons data/logs data/thumbnails 
public/javascript public/stylesheets
4. chown -R www-data: .
5. Create a new database, name it rsslounge, with utf8_general_ci as encoding
6. Now click on the database on the left, go in Privileges tab and click Add a 
new user
7. Give him a name (rsslounge for instance), a complicated and long password, 
be sure that the radio button : Grant all privileges on database 
“rsslounge” is ON
8. sudo a2enmod rewrite
9. enable AllowOverride All in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
10. restart apache2

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected output is installation of rsslounge via browser
output is the Apache Module mod_rewrite is not enabled

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

rsslounge1.7 on ubuntu server 12.4 lts

Please provide any additional information below.

I have checked and mod_rewrite is running.

You probably forgot to copy the hidden .htaccess-File to /var/www in step 1. I 
had the same problem till i RTFM ;)

Do 'cp /path/to/unzipped/rsslounge/.htaccess /var/www' and 'AllowOverride All' 
in you apache configuration for '<Directory /var/www/>'

hope that is it
