[SOLVED] mod_rewrite on WAMP

[spamoom]

I installed wamp and it works just as I want it too. However I recently wanted to use mod_rewrite on it.

 

I was told to put this here(comments taken out to make smaller)

<Directory "C:/Users/SpaM!/Desktop/localhost">
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

 

I restart apache and it seems to be ok =/. I went on and made a .htaccess in my website root dir next to index.php. That also allows the page to load, but as soon as I enter anything into that file and save it I get

If i take a look @ the apache log file I can find this everytime

[Tue Sep 04 12:05:17 2007] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/Users/SpaM!/Desktop/localhost/rewritetest/.htaccess: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

 

I really don't know whats wrong here and would appreciate any help.

 

Thanks

on wamp on the left hand side click on wamp (lkeeft click) then click on apache and goto modules, click om mod_rewrite so it has a check.

 

Wait for apache to restart.

If you can't find it, in wamp 2.1, this module is called "rewrite_module" in the tray menu, not "mod_rewrite"
