sNews depends on an Apache module named: "mod_rewrite"
To find out if it is available on your host, here is a little script.
- Open a plain-text file (notepad is just fine)
- Copy-paste the following code into the file:
<?php
if( ! function_exists('apache_get_modules') ){ phpinfo(); die; }
$result = ' not available';
if(in_array('mod_rewrite',apache_get_modules())) $result = ' available';

<title>Check for mod_rewrite</title></head>
<body>
<p>
<?php echo apache_get_version(),"</p><p>mod_rewrite $result"; ?></p>
</body>
</html>
- Save it,
but change the extension (.txt) to .php
IMPORTANT!- Upload it (using an
ftp-client) to the web space.
- point the browser to that address.
- Read what it says.
