WampServer

In http.conf I have removed the hashes from the "LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so" and "AddModule mod_rewrite.c", and restarted the server. Yet WAMP still behaves as if mod_rewrite weren't enabled.

remove
AddModule mod_rewrite.c

Thankyou. I don't suppose you could explain why?

Also, apologies for the poor phrasing in my original post.



wall.brickcount.value++

to enable modrewrite you just need to enable LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so. that is it, nothing else. apache may have had problems when you used the addmodule to add mod_rewrite.c when mod_rewrite.so was also enabled

I just remembered why AddModule did not work for you. the AddModule was only supported by Apache 1.x. Apache dropped AddModule when they released apache 2.0. The latest version of WAMP uses Apache 2.0.55.

Sorry to be a bother but I've now only got the loadmodule line in and WAMP is still behaving as if mod_rewrite weren't enabled.

are you getting any errors in your apache error log? how do you know modrewrite is not working.

A line, appearing a lot in my error log:

[Wed May 24 17:50:58 2006] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] f:/wampserver/www/.../.htaccess: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

I know it's not working becuase I was getting internal server errors when I tried it, and when I put aribitary things in .htaccess documents between <ifmodule mod_rewrite> tags, they didn't happen.



wall.brickcount.value++

can you post the contents of your htacess file here so I can see for myself what you are tyring to do, and if I see any errors?

Sure. Thanks for the help.

This is my entire .htaccess file atm.

RewriteEngine on

Rewriterule ^PaulCarpenter/$ PaulCarpenter.php



wall.brickcount.value++

for what you are trying to do, you should use an alias, not mod_rewrite.

create a new text file called PaulCarpenter.conf. Save this file in this directory:
C:\wamp\Apache2\conf\alias

Enter this text in the PaulCarpenter.conf file:
Redirect /PaulCarpenter [www.your_website.com]

now open you httpd.conf file, and find (it is at the very end of the file):
Include "c:/wamp/apache2/conf/alias/sqlitemanager.conf"

Add below that:
Include "c:/wamp/apache2/conf/alias/PaulCarpenter.conf"

Now save the file and restart apache for the new settings to take effect. now, if you access:
http://www.your_website.com/PaulCarpenter

it will now take you to:
http://www.your_website.com/PaulCarpenter.php

Please be aware that windows is not case specific, so if you surf to:
http://www.your_website.com/paulcarpenter

it will work because windows does not worry about case. however, if you try to access the same url and your site was hosted on a linux server, it would not work because linux is case specific. for example, linux would consider PaulCarpenter.php and paulcarpenter.php to be two totally different files, because the case matters, where windows would consider both files the same since it is not case specific.

Thankyou muchly, but the above was just an experiment to get mod_rewrite working.
What I ultimately wanted to do was to get /PaulCarpenter/foo/bar/ to give /PaulCarpenter.php?this=foo&that=bar.

Yes, I'm having the same problem that Paul is having.

I have created an alias using the wamp tasktray icon.

I then created an .htaccess for that alias.
My .htaccess is:
Rewriterule ^browse/(.*)$ browse.php?tag=$1

Now it seems to be working half-way. example:
when I browse too [localhost]
I do end up on the browse.php page as I set in my .htaccess, but
I do not get 'equipment' as a variable, I do not get the $_GET['tag'] on the browse page.

Anyone know what I have wrong?

I am thinking it is somehting in my alias.conf.
Currently I have:
Alias /ogd/ "c:/My Sites/OGD/www/"

<Directory "c:/My Sites/OGD/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

hi, juste change the name of your php script to something else then browse.php (same name as your directory) and you'll see taht everything works fine.

hi:

You may see my similar post about mod rewrite.

I uncomment the mod rewrite, but it can't restart wamp apache. Any idea?
