How to I enable mod rewrite? I am using Apache 2.0.59. I have been googling this all day... Almost every method seems different 8O and none seem to work :x

Thanks in advance.

Hi Shears. What have you tried?

Hi,

I uncommented LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Lots of sites (though not all) say i need to also uncomment AddModule mod_rewrite.c
This line doesn't exist in my httpd.conf file. I get an error on restarting server if i try adding the line.

Some sites (again not all) say I need to change AllowOverride All to AllowOverride None.
AllowOverride occurs on five different lines. I tried each one individually and them altogether.

I've restarted server the server what seems like 200 times.

PS. I cant surprisingly cant find anything about specifically enabling mod rewrite on the apache website...

After you enabled it, did you create a .htaccess file with rewrite rules in it?

Yes. A .htaccess I use on my production server which works fine on there.

What steps would you recommend I carry out, starting from the beginning, to enable mod rewrite?

Thanks
