Enabling mod rewrite without access to the httpd.conf file

[playaz]

Hi guys,

 

Can anyone explain how I enable mod rewrite on a live site using the php.ini? I do not have access to the httpd.conf file otherwise I would enable this via Apache.

 

Any help would be gladly appreciated.

 

Kind Regards,

Gavin

mod_rewrite has nothing to do with php, hence, needs to be enabled within apache's configuration.

 

If your site is hosted on apache, chances are good that mod_rewrite is installed and ready.

 

You can place local rules within a .htaccess file within the directory you wish to effect.

Hi Thorpe,

 

My PHP site is hosted on Apache, I have created a phpinfo() file and uploaded it to see the server configuration, I can't see anything related to mod_rewrite in there when I view the phpinfo file - would I be right in presuming mod_rewrite is not installed and that I can only get this setup by contacting my host and asking them to enable this?

 

Thanks again for your help

Again, as mentioned ... mod_rewrite has NOTHING to do with PHP (it is an Apache module) and therefore will not be displayed in the phpinfo();
