+ | ====== Using .htaccess on Ubuntu ====== | ||
+ | By default all files under /var/www ignore the .htaccess file. To fix it, edit the default config file. | ||
+ | |||
+ | sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/default | ||
+ | |||
+ | //Note: Sometimes this directive is in one of the other site files defined in this directory or in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file.// | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the following section change //AllowOverride None// to //AllowOverride All//. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | <Directory /var/www/> | ||
+ | Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews | ||
+ | AllowOverride None | ||
+ | Order allow,deny | ||
+ | allow from all | ||
+ | # Uncomment this directive is you want to see apache2's | ||
+ | # default start page (in /apache2-default) when you go to / | ||
+ | #RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/ | ||
+ | </Directory> | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Also, if you need to use rewrite rules you need to enable them first. You do that with the following command. | ||
+ | |||
+ | sudo a2enmod rewrite | ||
+ | |||
+ | Prior to running that command you may get an error similar to the following. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [Tue Apr 14 14:23:34 2009] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] /var/www/wiki/.htaccess: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration | ||
+ | |||
+ | Finally, don't forget to restart Apache. | ||
+ | |||
+ | sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart |
