If I understand correctly, I need to put something in httpd.config to enable mod_rewrite. If this is true, what do I need to put in httpd.conf or apache.conf? Please be OS specific.

    Nope, mod_rewrite is an Apache module and has nothing to do with PHP.

    To activate the module, the following line in httpd.conf needs to be active:

    LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

    to see whether it is already active, try putting a .htaccess file into a web directory containing the line

    RewriteEngine on

    if this works without throwing a 500 internal server error, and the .htaccess file gets parsed, URL rewriting works.
