Enable htaccess on Apache

2007 Feb 28

.htaccess files allows us to change configurations on our servers per directory or subdirectory. we may enable htaccess files by editing our httpd.conf rewmoving the comment on line from

;LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

to

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

we need to change the AllowOverride directive also from


Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Satisfy all

to


Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Satisfy all

You can also rename your .htaccess file by adding the line below on you httpd.conf file

AccessFileName [filename]

example: AccessFileName .configuration
