mod_rewrite and AllowOverride

[zander]

hi,

is mod_rewrite available and enabled on bubba 2?

also is AllowOverride enabled by default?

where/how do i change/check these things?

/etc/apache2/httpd.conf is empty.

(i am trying to get pretty permalinks working in wordpress)

thank you.

Hi, enabled mods are found in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled (available mods are in mods-available). To enable a mod use the command

Code: Select all

a2enmod modname

and then restart apache with

Code: Select all

apache2ctl restart

(mod_rewrite is enabled by default)

Edit: also, apache2.conf is used instead of httpd.conf

ty kiff,

after looking through apache2.conf i noticed the only instance of "AllowOverride None" is commented out.

is "AllowOverride All" default or should i add this to apache2.conf?

thank you.

I think it has to be enabled within a directory directive; (in apache2.conf or the virtual hosts files)

<Directory /path/to/files>
AllowOverride all
</Directory>

[zander]

okay.

so with bubba 2 i should add...

<Directory /home/web>
AllowOverride all
</Directory>

or

<Directory /home/web/wordpress>
AllowOverride all
</Directory>

i will try these in apache2.conf

and restart the server.

it did not resolve the wordpress issue.
