Latest .htaccess file causes redirect loop on install #60
Description
Using evolution 1.0.15, the latest additions to the .htaccess file is causing a redirect loop on a fresh install at wp-admin/install.php
I didn't check into where it is happening, but removing the added RewriteConds allows it to work as normal.
Happy to help track it down if you like.

Actually I don't know what might be causing it. I removed the .htaccess rules, reset the permissions and I get the same thing. Since this is a staging system, I simply pushed out my local data to it:
cap staging evolve:upand it all works. But I would like to know why the install no longer works.ericrasch commentedon Jun 19, 2015
@mcheck This issue is coming from the
<files install.php>A workaround that worked for Genesis is this which allows for the
install.phpto be executed on local environments:mcheck commentedon Jun 19, 2015
Thanks, odd that this worked fine on staging for me.
What is the general workflow in setting up a new site - is the wb db already set from a deploy?

That's right, as of 1.0.15, we are denying access to the install.php for non-local environments (as a security measure).
The intention being that an installation should be handled on the local stage, and then a deploy + db:up would get the db initialized for staging or production. Note: we need to get this documented
We are doing this as part of the virtualhost template, so it should only occur on a machine that was provisioned with .15 or later

Closing out, as this should be addressed by the workflow documentation in #70
