Question

In my development environment, I use the web built-in web server of php5.4 but it seems that .htaccess doesn’t work correctly. I can’t found the doc of that server. Can someone tell me if it is possible to use htaccess and mod_rewrite like apache?

Thank you very much

Answer 1

As in my comment mentioned, the current directory is by default your webroot. Also this webserver doesn’t support .htaccess.

You’ll find a good explanation about your issues here.

Get the Server Running

By default, the current directory is your webroot and you can now
request whatever files are here, and run PHP in the usual way

or

Routing Requests Like Apache Rewrite

One immediate feature that I was looking for was the ability to
redirect all incoming requests to index.php, which I usually do with
an .htaccess file. This webserver doesn’t support those (although my
good friend Josh has created something pretty close) but it does
support a routing file.
