I have been working on the project in Chapter 2. So far everything is running well. I am currently trying to get the mod_rewrite capability in .htaccess working. But seem to be having problems. Let me explain my setup: My root_document folder is as follows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2\htdocs\PHPadvanced\project_1 The changes that i have made to the httpd.conf is as follows: <Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Zend/Apache2/htdocs/PHPadvanced/project_1"> AllowOverride All </Directory> I have placed this at the bottom of my httpd.conf file. I have not changed the settings that are earlier in this file: <Directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2/htdocs"> # # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All", # or any combination of: # Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews # # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All" # doesn't give it to you. # # The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options # for more information. Options Indexes FollowSymLinks # # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files. # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride None # # Controls who can get stuff from this server. # Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> I looked at several forums and there were many suggestions to change this part of the .conf file. However, I understood that by adding the code that i did add to the end of the file, i have basically just controlled the amount of space that i have opened up to being controlled from the .htaccess file. I have placed my .htaccess file in both the main htdocs root folder, but also in the project_1 root_folder. This is also where my index.php file is. My contents of the .htaccess file are as follows: # project_1 .htaccess <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /PHPadvanced/project_1/ RewriteRule ^(about|contact|this|that|search)/?$ index.php?p=$1 </IfModule> I am now trying to go to my browser and type in http://localhost/PHPadvanced/project_1/about But this is just bringing up the following message. Not Found The requested URL /PHPadvanced/project_1/about was not found on this server. I am struggling as i am not quite sure where i am having problems. PLEASE HELP!!!
