cannot install to server

[anchetaWern]

I've installed all the prerequisites mentioned in the server requirements. When I accessed the index page at http://mywebsite.com I got the 'welcome get started screen'. After I have filled out all the information its asking for I clicked on the check button in the lower right side of the screen and it redirected me to the same page but this time without any styling:

I also tried putting in an .htaccess file on the root of the web directory which contains the following:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

but it doesn't work either. Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?

I have the same problem: The requested URL /settings was not found on this server.
Virtual host configuration for rewrite module is:

    <Directory /var/www/mydirectory>
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

Server run with apache 2.4.7 and php 5.5.9 with mcrypt module installed
I didn't tried putting any .htaccess file

I get the came thing at @rocandante

The requested URL /settings was not found on this server.

Has anybody found a workaround to this? I am testing on my localhost using YouTube and a Playlist but that shouldn't be an issue.

EDIT
Figured this out to be a permission issue on the directory, the config file was not getting written.
