Question

I am testing a .htaccess configuration on my localhost.
The root of the website is http://localhost/test/

My .htaccess is :

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/index2.php
RewriteRule ^test/(.*)$ /test/index2.php?dest=$1 [L]

I can’t achieve to redirect any call starting by http://localhost/test/ to index2.php.
With that .htaccess, and calling http://localhost/test/index.php
I have a 404 not found error “The requested URL /test/index.php was not found on this server.”.

I was waiting it to call http://localhost/test/index2.php?index.php

TIP : removing the RewriteCond does not change anything

PS : URL Rewriting is enabled and works for simplier examples

Answer 1

maybe you have not enabled mod_rewrite modul.

try to check it in: AppServ\apache\conf\httpd.conf

make sure this line without the # sign in front

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

And this line like this:

<Directory "C:/AppServ/www/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
