need help with mod rewrite

how do i turn it on

[StuntasticAudi]

Hello,
I am hosting a site, mod_rewrite is not turned on and i need to turn it on. I called them and talked to someone but they were no help. Only thing they told me is that i have to upload a php.ini file to my directory where my site files are and in php.ini i have to assign the values so mod_rewrite gets enabled.

Any idea how i do this? please help..thanks

You can add mod_rewrite statements to a .htaccess file, but php.ini should have nothing to do with it. Here's the documentation on mod_rewrite [httpd.apache.org]. I would suggest calling your host back again, and hope that you do not get the same person :) Also, this tutorial [webmasterworld.com] may help you from the Apache Forum Library [webmasterworld.com].

Good luck!
