SOLVED Setup complete but can't login or see site

I got a reply from Gigahost saying (translated):
------
As previously stated, you can not use the following commands in .htaccess:

Options FollowSymLinks
Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Options None
Options All

These settings are something each webhoster decide whether they want to support.
We have chosen not to do so, because the security risk inherent in doing so.

I agree with you that we are missing some documentation on our side, but we can
not cover or monitor all the possible errors that can occur with respect to installation of CMS.

Sorry, we're so far dependent on people write in with their problems,
we'll try to solve them.

If it's true that not supporting/disallowing certain commands used by GS is common - and poor/missing information is definitely common - I think it would be a great idea to include a warning about this in the GS installation instructions. It's so easy to avoid this malfunction if you know what causes it - but if you don't ... well, just look at this thread And - for me anyway - the rest of the installation was quite easy.
