Below are the instructions on how to enable .htaccess mod_rewrite in xampp.

1. Open and edit C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf in a text editor

2. Find the line which contains

   #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
   

   and (uncomment) change to

   LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
   

3. Find all occurrences of

   AllowOverride None
   

   and change to

   AllowOverride All
   

4. Restart xampp

That’s it you should be good to go.
