You need to enable Apache mod_rewrite.

• For XAMP on Windows: To enable it in WAMP, click on tray icon -> Apache -> Apache Modules -> rewrite_module. Make sure it checked. You need to restart Apache after it. (WAMP will restart it for you automatically).
• For other distributions, please refer to their help documentation

Denied. Remove Apache daemon (apache) from "/etc/at.deny" or "/var/at/at.deny"

You may get this error message when you do the installation. This message is generated when web server process does not have permission to run "at" command. To solve this issue, you can add web server user (usually apache or http) to /etc/at.allow.

If you have "SELinux" enabled on your server, you may want to set it to "Permissive" mode. (Maybe not be the best way to do it, please let me know if you have a better solution.)

TeamMaker doesn't work

iPeer uses TeamMaker as group making automatically. To create a TeamMaker executable file in Unix/Linux, please use the following steps:

• under /<your-install-dir>/TeamMakerCPP, type make to make a executable file for TeamMaker
• copy the TeamMaker file to /<your-install-dir>: cp TeamMaker ../.
• change the permission to TeamMaker: chmod 775 TeamMaker
• change the permission to /<your-install-dir>: chmod 775 <your-install-dir>:

The reason for permission changing on TeamMaker and /<your-install-dir>, is to grant the right permission for your Apache user to execute and create temporary files for group making.
