Use .htaccess file on an apache localhost server

Question

Alright, I got an Apache localhost server up and running with PHP and MySql. Now I want to be able to use a .htaccess file as well to use RewriteRule

Answer 1

.htaccess is a configuration file that should be stored where your page is. In short, it should be in c:\dev\www in Your case, but You should read this too. BTW don't forget to turn on mod_rewrite by deleting a hash from the line where it resides

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

and enable .htaccess by changing

AllowOverride None

to

AllowOverride All
