Solved it you superstar

I had a live site down with no working permalinks, permalinks hardcoded into the copy all over the place and no way to fix. As you say Apache2.2 doesn’t have mod_rewrite on by default, enabling fixed all the issues. Thanks again

Great job simplifying the process. I’m fairly new to *nix and following your directions was a piece of cake. I had to enable this thing to allow permalink redirect on my Wordpress blog website.

There is no 000-default file in Ubuntu 9.10.

Hmm… cp /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/

Works fine too.

Great article; however, Apache includes a function that will install the rewrite mod for you.

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Then finish by modifying the 000-default file as described above and restart the server.

Cheers!

Wow! [Tweeted this article!]
I usually go with XAMPP but for a change I tried installing from synaptic and got some serious headache with httpd.conf file and to change the www directory. Even after figuring out how to enable modules myself (with links) I forgot to change the “AllowOverride all”. I was just going to remove all packages and reinstall XAMPP.
Thank You A LOT (Jazakallahu Haira).

the google search “debian enable rewrite” lists this blog as number one, congrats. And the information works, although the information from mike [http://www.lavluda.com/2007/07/15/how-to-enable-mod_rewrite-in-apache22-debian/#comment-2598] is a cleaner way of keeping a debian config intact…

Dude, fantastic right up brother!

I’m running turnkey LAMP vm and using webmin to enable mod_rewrite but it still wasn’t working!!! ugh…
