greetings earthlings,
I develop sites on a mac and have been trying to get mod_rewrite to work unsuccessfully. I have it working at my hosting provider just fine but really need it local to test/develop.
Mac OSX 10.6.6 Apache/2.2.15 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.15 OpenSSL/0.9.8l DAV/2 PHP/5.3.3
I've tried many variations found on the web with no luck.
At this point I'm just trying to get a test directory, named "mod_rewrite," working.
Here's my /etc/apache2/users/me.conf file:
<Directory "/Users/me/Sites/">
Options Indexes -MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/Users/me/Sites/mod_rewrite">
Options All -MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
My .htaccess file in the "mod_rewrite" directory is this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^page/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
Pretty basic for now as a test. As I noted it works fine on my hosting platform.
I restart Apache with each change. Usually there is no change. Sometimes I've broken the whole damn thing. Sometimes I get permission denied for the test directory.

Is there a reason why you picked the name
mod_rewritefor this directory? Asmod_rewriteis the name of the Apache module that processes rewrite rules, however you haven't listed any rewrite rules. – HeatfanJohn – 2012-10-11T18:46:34.157I just used that as a directory name. I could have used anything but wanted it to be, well, obvious. My .htaccess file in the "mod_rewrite" directory is this: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^page/([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L] Pretty basic for now as a test. As I noted it works fine on my hosting platform. – xxx – 2012-10-12T12:34:06.707
For the sake of argument, and since MySQL also get huffy if you use a function name as a variable, I changed the name of the test directory.
Now it's starting to work but I'm getting this error message:
http://localhost/~me/mod_rewrite_test/page/get_me
Not Found
The requested URL /Users/me/Sites/mod_rewrite_test/index.php was not found on this server.
But the index.php file is there?
I know the .htaccess is somewhat working because if I change the actual page name the error shows this change! – xxx – 2012-10-12T12:56:33.433
Please post the error messages you receive. – HeatfanJohn – 2012-10-12T15:31:50.350
