[wpkg-users] [OT] wpkgExpress first release

The correct command would've been
 a2enmod rewrite
but setting the link manually is of course possible, too.

To make sure that the .htaccess is really used, in apache2.conf rf.
sites-/enabled/default make sure that the "AllowOverride" setting
has been set to "All".

I'll try the new wpkgExpress release tomorrow at work.

Thanx,
