Hi everybody,
I'm new to Webmaster World.
I got a question concerning Mod Rewrite.

I got it working @ my host, and @ my laptop (useing phpdev)

However, I've got my own server running at home and installed apache 2.0.4.6 on it. After wrestling with the .conf file for the last week getting mod_rewrite to work, I desperatly decided to install to the latest release of the apache webserver.

Still, no luck, by default mod_rewrite is disabled.

I tried uncommenting the # and read like 50 articles about .conf file configuration. But still no luck.
added the AddModule command made Apache crash (read something about AddModule not being required anymore since Version 2)

So what the hack do I need to do to get the module work propperly?

I got myself an easy .htaccess to check it with (rewriting bla.html to info.php in the same directory)

Any help would be appriciated!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Manie!

In order for any .htaccess files to be processed, you need to allow overrides:
[httpd.apache.org...]
