Mod rewrite work only on one particular server

[asyarief]

Hi,

I have a website that use mod rewrite and its working fine. Then, I re-create the same site on different host/server but this time the mod rewrite isn't working. Is there any configuration on the server that will enable mod rewrite using .htaccess? Here's how my .htaccess code look like :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index.html$ index.php

Thanks in advance for your help.

Server configuration differences can be great. When "your code doesn't work", do you get an error message in your server error log? This would be a great help to find the problem.

You can also try adding

Options +FollowSymLinks

ahead of your RewriteEngine on directive.

Apache mod_rewite must be loaded and you'll need to have AllowOverride and Options configured correctly in httpd.conf.

If none of these suggestions help, contact your host.
