.htaccess

[mandza]

hi every one,
i am new with ubuntu server, i installed server just 3 days ago.
i had made all configurations and everything is working fine except .htaccess i am googleing for 2days and whatever i had do the result is same .htaccess doesnt work. but it works on my other server at theplanet.com

my .htaccess file is:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^i/(.+)$ indexa.php?sayfa=$1

.htaccess files are disabled by default in Ubuntu Apache. If you look at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default, you'll see the defaults as defined in the "<Directory />" stanza. The directive "AllowOverride None" disables .htaccess files. You can either change that, or put the rewrite rules directly into the <VirtualHost> container for your site.

+1 for working directly in the virtualhost. That keeps the configuration data all in the same place.

You would put your rules directly inside of the <VirtualHost/> tag (located at /etc/apache2/sites-available/default) instead of in .htaccess files.

Did you set this in a file in the directory /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ and then reload the configuration?

Yes, i seti it in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ directory and reload configuration, it did not work, after that i had reboot server and it still dont work.

What did apache2ctl configtest produce for output? That will point out any errors in the configuration file.
