Enable xampp mod

Enable xampp mod_rewrite

Posted by nick on January 10, 2009 at 2:35 pm

By default mod_rewrite module is not enabled in apache with XAMPP.

To enable mod_rewrite in xampp first go to the directory of installation <xampp-directory>\apache\conf and edit httpd.conf. Find the line that contains
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
uncomment this(should be):

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Also find AllowOverride None

Should be:

AllowOverride All

AllowOverride appears 2 or 3 times on the configuration file. Change all of them.

I had the Object Not Found error, and this sorted it for me. Great blog, short and to the point, and it worked!

Hey!

Thank you this really works!

In the new version of XAMPP LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so is enabled,

But it still didn’t work,

but after changing AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All

IT NOW WORKS!!!!
