I have just installed zenphoto on my server but on the setup page I am getting this error:

"Server seems not to be Apache or Apache-compatible, skipping .htaccess test"

Also the .htaccess file seems to delete itself from my server when i go back into the ftp.

Can anyone help please

Is your server supposed to be Apache-compatible? If not there is no need for the .htaccess file (it will do no good.) You just may not use the mod_rewrite option.

The two messages you received are just warnings--press the GO button.

The server is supposed to be apache compatible! I clicked GO and nothing happened!
It just stayed on the same screen

The htaccess file there or not, it still doesn't respond

glendonhood : what type of server software is installed on your server? Lighthttpd ? Apache ?

Something strange is goin on here. After clicking on GO you should not have got back to the system check page. It is almost like the URL query parameters (setup.php?checked&update) are not getting passed on to the script. If you are comfortable with PHP coding you can try some debugging statements.

Find the lines which read:
`

not sure what i am doing here but I have added the print script to the setup.php file.
Also i have just found out that my server has zeus software installed. do you think this is the problem?

Did you get some output from the print script? If so, please show us the results.

No output was given from the print script unfortunately. The same thing occurred again, when i pressed the go button it just returned to the setup page.
But I tried opening the zp-core folder, i removed setup.php from the url and it automatically opened the admin area.
I assume thats where it was supposed to take me after clicking GO. Is that correct?

Could you please tell us what kind of server you are using?

The GO button takes you to the update/create part of setup.php, so if it doesn't get there, setup has not done its function.

I am using a Zeus 4.3 server

Do you have the option of using a different web server? That's not a standard server and may not be compatible...
