Enabling Mod_Rewrite On Apache Installed on Windows System?

[SlickVic78]

Hello All,

I am trying to enable the mod_rewrite module that comes with the Apache install I am currently running. I opened up the httpd.conf and uncommented (removed # in front of):

Quote:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

and

Quote:

AddModule mod_rewrite.c

After making the following changes, I restart Apache to see that it does not work.

I checked phpinfo.php and it does not show up within the list of modules, but somewhere I read that it doesn't necessarily need to show up in the list - it should work.

Something tells me that I do not have something set up correctly. I tried placing a blank .htaccess file within the directory that will be making use of the rewrite module, and it gives me a server error.

Does this mean I do not have .htaccess support enabled within my Apache installation? How do I go about enabling .htaccess support?

I am running Apache 1.3.27.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[EDIT] -
Well after many of searches, I finally found a site that helped me. It came down to changing the values for Options, AllowOverride, and Order. Once changed, and Apache restarted, things began to work with no problems.

Woot!


Thanks,
