I didn’t have the time to test the installation on Apache on Windows, but I did make the plugin a bit smarter about when WordPress is installed in a sub-directory.

Please install the newest version of the plugin and inform me if it is still a problem. (And if you are using Apache, why would you use Windows???)

I just ran several install scenarios on various platforms and could not trigger an error that only stated “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”

Please provide the entire error message as I haven’t been able to find an error besides the ones I intentionally trigger when the plugin is activated on an incompatible server.

I was hoping there was a line number along with the error to help me narrow down what could be causing the problem. I was planning on incorporating some features from wp-includes/ms-files.php into this plugin and testing it on Apache for Windows as well, so perhaps I will run across the bug you are experiencing and squash it (possibly accidentally).

Sorry for not responding. I tried creating different folder structure installs and couldn’t replicate how the last RewriteRule line is being created. Are you using Apache on Windows perhaps (which might explain why the slashes are flipped)?

@steve, can you add the actual fatal error message text to this thread?

This plugin was designed specifically to work with Apache with the mod_rewrite module active and configured, so if your system does not include those requirements the plugin forces a fatal error on activation.

From looking at the .htaccess file it appears the rewrite rules do not match as the path of /securenewinstall/wordpress/index.php should be similar to the wp-content/… path from my recollection. I’ll take a look at the code later today and see if I can find where the discrepancy is being generated.

Can you post the contents of the .htaccess file that is in the same folder on the file system as the secured file?

@immeanyhow, can you post the exact text of the error message (error message, line number, etc.)? I just created new WP 3.3 and WP 3.3.1 sites to test installing the plugin and they both worked fine. I suspect you may not be using Apache as your web server and/or Apache’s mod_rewrite module is not enabled.

During the plugin activation it intentionally raises errors if you do not have Apache (The Htaccess Secure Files plugin requires Apache), if the plugin could not check which Apache modules are installed (The Htaccess Secure Files plugin could not determine which Apache modules are active), or if mod_rewrite is not among the active Apache modules (The Htaccess Secure Files plugin requires the mod_rewrite Apache module to be installed and active).
