Enable mod_rewrite in windows , WAMP, XAMPP


by Php Ninza on August 22, 2009

Wamp and XAMPP doesn’t come with default rewrite rule enabled, For enabling the rewrite rules in both of them you need to make changes in httpd.conf so that apache can work with rewrite rules.

For enabling the rewrite rules follow these rules:-

1) find httpd.conf (usually this file can be found in folder callled conf , config or something along those lines)

2) Find and uncomment the line LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

3) Find the line with DocumentRoot “C:/path/to/my/root”, There you will find contents like

<Directory>

</Directory>

Make sure the content inside these two braces looks like

<Directory>

Options All

AllowOverride All

</Directory>

4) All done now restart the Apache server and you will be all good to go
