enable mod_rewrite on apache-winXP

[Tomba]

hello people,

I am trying to test locally everything I do to my website before uploading, and I should be able to use mod_rewrite.
How can I enable this in apache on my winXP ?

thanks!!

You must open Apache Install Dir/conf/httpd.conf and fine a line that says :

Code: Select all

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Just remove the '#' from this line so that it is "uncommented".

You must also enable .htaccess to have rewrite directives.
Find the <Directory "your http docs dir"> </Directory> block and inside it make sure you have this:

Code: Select all

AllowOverride All

so that all directives are accepted inside the .htaccess files.

Save, exit file and restart Apache for the changes to take effect.
