Question

Alright, I got an Apache localhost server up and running with PHP and MySql. Now I want to be able to use a .htaccess file as well to use RewriteRule, But I’m at a loss where to put it.

I have these directories:

C:\dev\progs where Apache PHP and MySQL are stored, each in their own sub-directories, ie. C:\dev\progs\Apache and so on…

C:\dev\www where all the site files are stored.

I need to know where to put the .htaccess file, what configuration I need to do, and if what I’m my hopes and dreams are all for nothing.

Thanks

.htaccess is a configuration file that should be stored where your page is. In short, it should be in c:\dev\www in Your case, but You should read this too. BTW don’t forget to turn on mod_rewrite by deleting a hash from the line where it resides

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

and enable .htaccess by changing

AllowOverride None

to

AllowOverride All
