mod_rewrite problem

[VinceDee]

I'm having problems getting mod_rewrite to work in on my LAMP server, and I can't figure out what's wrong. I've also already googled and searched the forums to no avail:


according to phpinfo.php mod_rewrite is loaded

following the various directions available that are apparently working for everyone else (including the following link):
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7304&highlight=mod_rewrite

1. sudo a2enmod rewrite
2. made sure that the following was in either the apache2.conf, or .htaccess file of whatever website directory I'm working with:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
</IfModule>

3. modified the /etc/apache2/sites_enabled/000-default.conf file so that the directory entry read:

AllowOverride all

But the progam I'm installing (drupalCMS from drupal.org) on one of my virtual websites says:

"It appears your host is not configured correctly for Clean URLs. Please check for ModRewrite support with your administrator."

Any ideas?

I'm have exactly the same problem. Nothing happen when I try to use .htaccess for rewriting

Make sure the first line of your .htaccess file says:

RewriteEngine On

I'm having a similar problem. if you look in the /mods-available/ dir, it contains a rewrite.load but NOT a rewrite.conf file, not sure why, or if this has an effect but i'm looking into it atm....

It may have an effect considering most other standard modules appear to have both a .load and a .conf file, or is rewrite an exception to the rule?

Have tried adding RewriteEngine On to .htaccess but no luck.

SORTED - I set AllowOverride all in virtualhosts and it solved it
