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

Enable .htaccess on apache servers in localhost

1) Find your apache directly which uses the php installation .
2) Open your httpd.conf  with notepad, Which is located in the path \apache\conf directory
3) Find the code like below       
      #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
4) Remove # from above code


# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
 # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
 #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
 #
 AllowOverride All   <--- make sure this is not set to "None"


5) Save httpd.conf file
6) Restart your apache server
