try simple one first
# .htaccess file
AuthUserFile c:/wamp/www/your_test_folder/.htpasswd
AuthName "Private Area"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

# .htpasswd file
user:pass

You meant on your host? Most host mostly setup most things people often use, but w/ wamp you have to setup yourself depends on what you need

Not sure if you're so simple or really don't understand, and assume you're simple, so here is the simple answer for you:

htaccess work like main config file but only apply to particular folder or user instead the whole web server like main config file, so if you want htaccess work like your host, you have to request your host to provide you all settings they have for your plan, so you can implement wamp to work like your host ;-)

Hi Seco,

Did you check if mod_rewrite is run by apache?

- Click on the WampServer icon, select Apache, Apache modules
- Scroll down until you see 'Rewrite_Module'
- If there is no check mark before Rewrite_Module click on it to enable it.

Now things should work (I am not sure if you have to restart the Apache service, just try)

gives the server also an error when you (for the sake of the test) disable the .htaccess file (by renaming it temporary)? If not I would think the .htaccess file is being parsed but mod_rewrite is having some troubles with it

The easiest way to find out is running a simple test; for example:

<!-- test1.html -->
<html>
   <body>
      <p>
         This is Test 1
      </p>
   </body>
</html>


<!-- test2.html -->
<html>
   <body>
      <p>
         This is Test 2
      </p>
   </body>
</html>


# .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^test1.html$ test2.html

Save these 3 files as test1.html, test2.html and .htaccess in folder c:/wamp/www/testRewrite and access as follows:

http:// localhost/testRewrite/test1.html

If you've already enabled mod_rewrite, you should see the result of test2.html which is "This is test 2"

are you using an alias? ...if so then you might need to add "RewriteBase /nameofalias" between lines 01 and 02 of the sample yfastud just gave

the example of yfastud works test1.php goes to dd/test2.php successfully but all the links on the page that goes to dd/test2.php renamed to test2.php which is of course not at that path !!
it renames all links that goes to dd/test2.php to test2.php !!!
any idea why? what is the solution?

Hey seco
Your mod_rewrite works, so you should get some books or/and join some other forums that are more about coding to help you achieve your goals ;-)

Put/embed your php script inside html file(s); for example:

<!-- test1.html -->
<html>
   <body>
      <p>
         This is Test 1
      </p>
   </body>
</html>


<!-- test2.html -->
<html>
   <body>
      <p>
         This is Test 2
      </p>
      <?php
      echo "And this is generated from PHP";
      ?>
   </body>
</html>

Then put this line of code in your htaccess file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

And for testing this, your htaccess should be as follows:

# .htaccess

# Embed PHP in HTML
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

# Rewrite rules
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^test1.html$ test2.html

Save these 3 files as test1.html, test2.html and .htaccess in folder c:/wamp/www/testRewrite and access as follows:

http:// localhost/testRewrite/test1.html

If you've already enabled mod_rewrite through wamp tray icon, you should see the result of test2.html as follows:

This is test 2

And this is generated from PHP



Even when select view source code in browser, you only see html codes winking smiley

Hello yfastud ,

Thanks for reply.

But problem is that in my folder all files are php files(.php) and I don't want to show php extension on address bar while accessing files.

If I explicitly write php extension file on addressbar , I want to display error as "The requested URL filename.php was not found on this server "even if php files exsists inside folder.

Is there any htaccess rule for that?

Thanks,
Sheetal

The following rule will direct all requests for a .html file to its corresponding .php file
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ $1.php [nc]

Eg if you go to mysite.com/hello.html it will actually call mysite.com/hello.php

You wont be able prevent complete access to your .php files. If you're trying to protect yourself from hackers, I doubt you'll fool a hacker into thinking your site is just plain old html because your urls end in .html
