Skatecrazy1 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 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.

wildteen88 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 No you don't need to uncomment/add AddModule mod_rewrite.c or ClearModuleListJust uncommend [b]LoadModule mod_rewrite modules/mod_rewrite.sop[/b] in the httpd.conf. Save and restart the Apache server. Mod_rewrite should be enabled.

wildteen88 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 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.

Skatecrazy1 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 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 +FollowSymLinksRewriteEngine 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 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/25253-using-mod_rewrite-with-xampp/#findComment-115911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 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.

Skatecrazy1 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 hmm, well it works alright now, i can view the directory even with the .htaccess present. I had restarted apache the last time I tried it, but it still didn't work; i restarted it a second time and it worked. thanks.
