wildteen88 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Have you enabled .htaccess support within the httpd.conf? .htaccess files wont work by default. You have to configure Apache to use .htaccess files by setting up the AllowOverride directive within the httpd.conf. Got to Apaches main <Directory></Directory> directive within the httpd.conf and look for the following lines: # # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files. # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride None Change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All Save the httpd.conf and restart Apache. Apache should now be reading your .htaccess files.
