Edit: if you are performing a new install, rename useme.htaccess to .htaccess. This will be handled automatically in future releases

It has been a full year since BoxBilling has seen a release, but we have been doing work under the hood including bug fixes, security patches, feature improvements, and general cleanup of the software.
