Apache is running as nobody.

.htaccess file is mambo standard file with one extra line:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
AddDefaultCharset windows-1251
ĞPatch mambo index.php fileğ link gives following error:
Failed: Mambo main path or index.php is not writeable!
updProblem is with the apache configuration not the mos-smf bridge. Sorry for disturbance.
