Using Mod_rewrite with xampp


Skatecrazy1

Recommended Posts

Hey, i have xampp and I was going into the httpd.conf file and uncommenting the LoadModule line for mod_rewrite, but I've heard you have to also uncomment AddModule mod_rewrite.c and ClearModuleList.

only problem for me is that I can't find either of those lines in my httpd.conf file. 

help would be greatly appreciated.

You cant view htaccess files as by default Apache denies access to files starting with .ht for security reasons. What are you trying to do?

When creating a .htaccess file you don't give it a file name. Its just .htaccess nothing else. You only edit this file and then Apache reads this file automatically when going to the directory the .htaccess file is in.

Yes, I know all about how .htaccess works:

I'm trying to visit the directory the .htaccess is in when it contains this code:

[code]
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
[/code]

Which is what the tutorial at [url=http://www.tutorio.com/tutorial/enable-mod-rewrite-on-apache]http://www.tutorio.com/tutorial/enable-mod-rewrite-on-apache[/url] said would have no errors (when i tried to view the directory) if mod_rewrite were successfully enabled.

but, when I simply try to access the directory, it gives me a 500

Open up Apaches error log (should be in a folder called logs in the XAMPP folder), scroll to the very bottom you should find an error message for why you are getting the 500 error message.

Also make sure you have restarted Apache when you enabled mod_rewrite in the httpd.conf.
