[Midas] Installing Midas on Mac 10.6.8

[Patrick Reynolds]

Mona/Brian,

I'd recommend taking a look at the latest installation instructions
here: http://www.kitware.com/midaswiki/index.php/Documentation/Latest/User/Setup/Installation

We generally deploy Midas on Linux servers, but many of our developers
(including myself) prefer OS X. It looks to me from this trace that
there may be some issues with the mod_rewrite configuration. I would
expect the URL to be http://localhost/~mona/iDASH/Midas/install/step2
instead of http://localhost/~mona/iDASH/Midas/index.php/install/step2.
Could you verify that mod_rewrite is enabled and that something to the
effect of the following directive is present in the Apache
configuration:

 <Directory "/var/www/midas/">
   Options FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
  </Directory>

Thanks,
