Hi I just learn how to mod rewrite from a member here 'Nintendo' and was trying it to apply mod_rewrite on my localhost. Is there any setting needed in apache httpd.conf to enable mod rewrite? Any help is appriciated **Thanks
I had used .htaccess but no luck, and then I also try to uncomment #LadModule in httpd.conf and still dont work. Does anyone know what to do to make it work locally? I dont use my local machine to go online. Im afraid of those viruses get into my compy Thanks
You must uncomment the line Make sure the .htaccess file is in the directory your looking at (probably the root) If it still dont work, change the line to
Still no luck I had uncomment #LoadModule rewrite_module #AddModule mod_rewrite.c and set AllowOverride none to AllowOverride all
Did you restart apache? There are more than 1 place where you can change AllowOverride, try changing them all to AllowOverrid All Also, put an empty file with just the following info <?php echo phpinfo(); ?> and make sure that mod_rewrite is one of the modules that gets loaded.
Yes I had restart my server and had change all AllowOverride. There are about 7 AllowOverride. If the mod_rewrite had been successfully enable, is there any method I can test? Since Im new to apache and mod_rewrite, probably there is something I missed out. When I try to access .htaccess which is located at htdocs/test_file in the browser http://localhost/test_file/.htaccess It shows FORBIDDEN message which seems like it had already enabled. Probably something is wrong with my htaccess, is there any special line that had to be included? Thanks
Do a little test with the index page... At domain.com/.htaccess Options +Indexes Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^wacko\.html$ index.html [L] with index.html being the file name of the index page. Then go to domain.com/wacko.html and see what you get.
This is what I just did: I create a folder named test in htdocs which is accessible through http://localhost/test And then I create index.html and .htaccess with the lines you provide. When I open up http://localhost/test/wacko.html , I get an internal error message. While for my own website which I build on local machine shows 404 error message when I try to access mod_rewritten URLs. I used the same .htaccess on my internet server and does not seems to go wrong Does my machine had already enable mod_rewrite, or probably my .htaccess? Thanks
If it's your own computer, I have no idea. I've only used mod_rewrite on domain.com URLs, not localhost!!!
Hi guys, just came across this thread while I was facing the same problem, however I found the solution for localhost over your local computer: 1. You have to uncomment the load mod rewirte lines over the conf file (as was explained before) 2. replace "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" only in 1 line (not all the 7 lines it appears). You have to change it over the section it talks about .htaccess: Hope that would help someone

apachehtaccess, is mod_rewrite supposed to be able to work on localhost? Every time I see some one post about trying to get it to work there, it never works. I have yet to see some one get it to work there.
Yes mod_rewrite works fine on localhost, there are just a few little quirks. Instead of trying to use localhost, why not use 127.0.0.1 often that will work much better.
This post came up in google for my search for "mod_rewrite on localhost" and the change from "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" was the perfect solution. Thank you 5 year old thread!!!
