Social Engine 4 capable?

[cityraw24748]

Hello,
Is it possible to install social engine4 on free hosting?
Minimum:
Apache-based shared web server
Apache mod_rewrite (only for Apache v2.0.29 or below)
MySQL 4.1
PHP 5.12
PHP safe mode: OFF
PHP extensions: gd2, curl
PHP memory limit: 32M+
Sendmail


Also, in instructions it says to change some folder to 777 CHMOD, I read somewhere if you change some .php files to 777 it'll cause 500 error? Is it correct?

I'm getting:
" the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
Looks like it keep redirecting back and forth from install/index.php to install/
Help please?

x10 meets all of those minimum system requirements.

Our server setup is such that you do NOT need anything as 777 (indeed as you said it'd just give you 500 Internal Server Errors). Whenever you see something mention 777, use 755 instead (which is the default for directories) and it will work perfectly.

For your redirect problem, add RewriteBase / to your .htaccess file in public_html immediately after RewriteEngine On

First of all I'd like to thank you for helping me with this. I don't want to spend more money to pay phpfox to install it.

Ok, so if I add rewritebase / I get a redirection error, if I take it out I get "500 internal server error"

Here is my .httacess:

# $Id: .htaccess 7539 2010-10-04 04:41:38Z john $

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  Options +FollowSymLinks
  RewriteEngine On


  # Get rid of index.php
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /index\.php
  RewriteRule (.*) index.php?rewrite=2 [L,QSA]

  # Rewrite all directory-looking urls
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$
  RewriteRule (.*) index.php?rewrite=1 [L,QSA]

  # Try to route missing files
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} public\/ [OR]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.(jpg|gif|png|ico|flv|htm|html|php|css|js)$
  RewriteRule . - [L]
  
  # If the file doesn't exist, rewrite to index
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?rewrite=1 [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

# sends requests /index.php/path/to/module/ to "index.php"
# AcceptPathInfo On

Hello,

The redirection loop looks like it is being caused by that "Get rid of index.php" rule. You will need to contact Social Engine support to see what your .htaccess SHOULD look like, as that entire file looks off to me (but then again I do not know that script at all).

The RewriteBase is required if you are using RewriteRules, the 500 Internal Server Error is what happens when you leave it out

The .htaccess is what I got off my trial package from Social Engine. You can download it and see it for your self from here :
