.htaccess Not Working?

emil2k · Dec 21, 2007

I'm having trouble with .htaccess files running mod_rewrite, I enabled the rewrite module with a symlink and changed the AllowOverride to All and reloaded and it still doesn't do the simple check found here:

.htaccess

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^link([^/]*)\.html$ rewrite.php?link=$1 [L]

rewrite.php

Code:

<h2 align=center>
<?
// mod_rewrite Test Page
// Copyright 2006 Webune.com
if($_GET['link']==1){echo"You are not using mod_rewrite";}
elseif($_GET['link']==2){echo"Congratulations!! You are using Apache mod_rewrite";}
else{echo"Linux Apache mod_rewrte Test Tutorial";}
?>
</h2>

<p><a href="rewrite.php?link=1">LINK1</a> = rewrite.php?link=1</p>
<p><a href="link2.html">LINK2</a> = link2.html</p>
<p>How this works: both links are for this same page, except they both are different. link one is without the mod_rewrite and link2 is using mod_rewrite. Link1 show the php file, with with mod_rewrite we are mascarading the php file into a html file. you can use whatever type of extension you want, you can change it to .htm or .shtml etc... all you have to do is to make sure you also chang it in the .htaccess file</p>

When I click the second link it simply shows a 404, this is what I put in the httpd.conf for this:

Code:

<Directory /var/www>
        AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Which distribution are you using? If it's Debian or Ubuntu, what's the output of
Code:
ls -la /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
?

Can you post the vhost configuration of that vhost?
