mod_rewrite not working for Apache 2.2 on Windows 7

Question

I have WampServer up and running on my Windows 7 machine. It is installed in C:/wamp. I have set up my configuration using the following VirtualHosts in the C:/wamp/bin/apac

Answer 1

on apache config, changing "AllowOverride" to "All" on the definition of the DocumentRoot will solve the issue

Answer 2

Double check the name of the .htaccess file. Windows doesn't like to let you create a file with nothing before the period. "You must type a filename".

Two options.

• Change AccessFileName to use a different filename.
• Using the command line to "rename htaccess .htaccess" will work.
