Posted by TylerH, 10-02-2007, 04:22 PM Ok, I'm not to sure if this is the right place to be asking or talking about my problem... But if it is Mod/Admin please move it.. Thanks.. ANYWAY! haha.. Well Its October and I have a Server at home with me running NO CONTROL PANEL... I have been using it for 5 years now... But my problem is my mod_rewrite is not working... I have tried fixing it... But I can't find it in the httpd.conf file where I heard it was at... They said it came by default by Apache.. I'm running Apache2.2.4, Fedora Core 7), PHP 5, MySQL 5.... I don't see the mod_rewrite on there.... idk what I am doing wrong please help... Thanks. Tyler
Posted by Patrick, 10-02-2007, 04:28 PM You don't see mod_rewrite.so anywhere in the Apache configuration file? It might look like: LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.so
Posted by TylerH, 10-02-2007, 04:49 PM No.. I forgot to add that I did see this "LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so" But I don't see.. "RewriteEngine On"
Posted by Phildar, 10-02-2007, 04:57 PM I believe you would want to use that in your .htaccess file prior to setting the Rewrite condition: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond
Posted by david510, 10-03-2007, 07:16 AM Did you add a sample redirect rule with RewriteEngine On in .htaccess?
Posted by activelobby4u, 10-03-2007, 07:54 AM With the following line in Apache conf, you have Apache server with mod_rewrite enabled. "LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so" "RewriteEngine On" is specfied in your website's .htaccess file which explicitly turns on mod_rewrite for that certain domain. Please test it using a sample redirect rule in .htaccess. Like: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^.*$ /directory_name_to_redirect/ [R]
Posted by TylerH, 10-03-2007, 04:35 PM I have already have done this... in the .htaccess.. This is the code I got with the software..
Posted by TylerH, 10-04-2007, 01:53 PM Does anyone know..? Can anyone help me???
Posted by foobic, 10-04-2007, 08:01 PM What have you got for AllowOverride in httpd.conf? You need FileInfo to be able to use mod_rewrite in .htaccess.
Posted by TylerH, 10-05-2007, 03:14 PM I read everything I could find.. All I can think of is just reintall Apache.. If I do im at Verison 2.2 now should I downgrade it to 1.3.7...???
Posted by Steve_Arm, 10-05-2007, 03:21 PM AllowOverride All exists?
Posted by TylerH, 10-05-2007, 04:41 PM No it does not exist.. Not there in the php.ini file
Posted by foobic, 10-05-2007, 07:14 PM It will exist in httpd.conf. You probably have AllowOverride None.
Posted by TylerH, 10-05-2007, 09:46 PM Yup.. Thats what I have ... So do i put it as AllowOverride All??
Posted by TylerH, 10-05-2007, 09:53 PM This is what it looks like...
Posted by TylerH, 10-05-2007, 09:56 PM Haha I Got It Thanks!
