I had the above problem recently, and I'd like to share the solution, it should be a huge help for someone:
I'm using Apache 2.4 on Windows 10.
Nothing in the .htaccess file was working, although the necessary stuff in c:\Apache24\conf\httpd.conf were set:
| Code: | Define SRVROOT "c:/Apache24"
DocumentRoot "${SRVROOT}/htdocs"
<Directory "${SRVROOT}/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
|
| Code: | LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
|
Solution
My Apache started to deteriorate, at a point it didn't even execute .php files.*
In my final despair I opened the Windows task manager > Services, and restarted Apache. Not only did Apache parse the .php files then, but the .htaccess problem went away too. Normal command line Apache restart never worked. This is some mysterious stuff.
* (There was a short while, when I used the original httpd.conf file, which didn't contain the php settings, then I moved back to the proper httpd.conf file very soon. From what it seems, this is what took effect 5 days later. I know this sounds pretty stupid, but that's the best explanation.) |
