[OpenVCP] project alive? I can't seem to configure web interface

[Gerrit Wyen]

Hi,
> First question - is this project alive? I haven't seen any posts on this mailing list in archive since Sept.

It's still alive, the mailinglist was never realy activ... but we are
only two developers and I hadn't much time recently. I hope this will
change within the next weeks.

OpenVCP requires currently mod_rewrite. There is a .htaccess file in the
webroot, which defines the needed rules. Often the problem is that the
"AllowOverride" option of the apache server doesn't allow htaccess
files.

This isn't right..
