Enabling Mod_Rewrite in Apache 2.x

Trying to enable mod_rewrite in Apache 2? Check these things.

In your httpd.conf file (probably in/etc/httpd/conf/), search for the line:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Ensure there is no pound sign (#) in front of this line.
Search for AllowOverride and ensure it is set to All.
Search for AccessFileName. If you do not find a line that says:
AccessFileName .htaccess
You need to add it.
Restart Apache (service httpd restart OR /etc/init.d/httpd restart)

That should be it.

You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

Trying to do the same thing. I noticed in my httpd.conf file I have several lines that read “AllowOveride None”. Is there a specific line that should be set to All? Should I change every instance of it?
Thanks
