How to enable mod_rewrite for Apache 2.2

Question

I\'ve got fresh install of Apache 2.2 on my Vista machine, everything works fine, except mod rewrite.

I\'ve uncommented

LoadModule rewrite_module mo         


        

Answer 1

Open terminal and typin a2enmod rewrite, It will enable your mod_rewrite module for Apache.

Then go to /etc/apache2/sites-available and edit default file. (For this you must have writable permissions to this file and sites-available folder.)

Replace below with existing lines 4 to 14

DocumentRoot /var/www

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All


Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all

Now restart your apache by /etc/init.d/apache2 restart or service apache2 restart

Take clean URL test again and this time it will be passed.
