URL Rewrite on AppServ

Posted in Development, Tutorials by Alex Stoia

Some people like to install apache, php, MySql, phpMyAdmin with one click, so the AppServ package concept was created (Xampp is the alternative package), saving you time and some headaches.
If you have some problem with the appServ preconfiguration, here are the config paths:
- Apache    /installPath/Apache/conf/ httpd.conf
- MySql     /installPath/MySql/my.ini
- Php         /installPath/php/php.ini
So, now let’s return to our problem, URL REWRITE. The default config in apache for this module is ( /installPath/Apache/conf/ httpd.conf ) :

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so => this prevents apache to load the module on start, because it is commented
The solution is simple un-comment it :
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
And now just restart the Apache service (from computer manager or from apache folder) and voila, the module is ready to be used :)

    thanx. i had problems when was developing site on my local computer, cause i thought that run mod-rewrite is impossible on my machiene. now everything is cool, but i’ve got one question: what to do, if i want only one site to use mod-rewrite? will those changes be applied to all sites at once or only to those, where i’ve written .htaccess files with rules?
