Hi,
I am using webserv and i can't seem to make mod rewrite work. I have uncommented the module in Php.ini but it still don't seems to work.

Any help will be appreciated.

sorry about that. When i said php.ini i meant httpd.conf.

Earlier i had phpdev and it worked fine. Now i have installed webserv but now mod-rewrite is not working :-(

make sure all the files from phpdev are removed from the  windows directory

what error do you get when you run apache -t
from the cmd line in the webserv\apache2\bin dir ?

hi,

i deleted all the files/services created by phpdev. And when i ran apache -t it said "Syntax OK".

However when i run phpinfo it says mod_rewrite is loaded.

Any ideas??

Thanks and regards

hi thanks for your replies.

I am testing mod rewrite on my webserv but aparently it throws a error saying object not found.

here are the rules i am using:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^hardware/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*) /index.php?prod_id=$2&meta=$3&cat_id=$1&${page=$4}

RewriteRule ^hardware/(.*)/ /index.php?cat_id=$1
RewriteRule ^hardware/(.*) /index.php?cat_id=$1

RewriteRule ^site/(.*)/(.*)/ /page.php?ptype=$2&action=$1
RewriteRule ^retailers/ /retailers.php?action=retailers
RewriteRule ^news/(.*)/ /index.php?news_id=$1&action=news
RewriteRule ^search/ /search.php?action=search
RewriteRule ^best/ /search.php?best=1&str=andcp.best=1&action=best

RewriteRule ^info/(.*)/ /index.php?ret_id=$1
RewriteRule ^rate/(.*)/ /rate.php?ret_id=$1

RewriteRule ^join/ /join.php

</IfModule>

This was working in phpdev but not in webserv :-(

hi,

Thanks all of you for your help. I have finally got mod_rewrite working. I had to changes a few lines in the httpd.conf file to get it working.

AccessFileName .htaccess
Allow from all

<Directory />
  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All
  order allow,deny
  allow from all
</Directory>

Thats it.
