After installing Apache 2.2.9 on Windows Vista I encountered a problem getting mod_rewrite to work. The steps that I finally took to accomplish this were simple. I share them here in hopes that they can help others.
- Edit the httpd.conf file and uncomment the LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so line.
- Also in httpd.conf file change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All.
- Restart Apache and test your redirect URL.
That is all there is to it. My thanks to the post at http://www.wallpaperama.com/disp-post54.html which provided me with the missing step that was keeping mod_rewrite from working.
