Hi!

I installed Apache2 on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn as a developement environment. I knew that mod_rewrite is one of the default modules that are installed. It is there in the mods-available dir but somehow I cannot load it.
I have this in my apache2.conf file:
Supposingly it did not find is because the .htaccess stuff is not working at all. I installed wordpress and joomla too just to make sure that the problem is not with me (I know that they are using mod_rewrite) and of course they didn't work.
What do I have to do to enable that function of Apache2?
I have MySQL, PHP5 and some other stuff installed but I don't think that they would interfere with Apache2.
Would it solve if I linked the rewrite mod to the mods-enabled dir?

Thanx for your help!

I tried to link the rewrite.load to the mods-enabled dir. I reloaded apache and then restarted, killed the pid and did everything but didn't work. Maan... I am getting super frustrated because it should not be that difficult.

Maybe and error log will help:

I just solved for myself your issue, sorry had to wait 2 years for somebody lol.

The VirtualHost/sites-enabled-conf files, well enable "AllowOverride" directive to override "FileInfo" & "Options", ex:

AllowOverride FileInfo Options

That'll enable your .htaccess rules!
