using mod_rewrite with XAMPP and windows 7 – 64 bit?

Below are the instructions on how to enable .htaccess mod_rewrite in xampp.

  1. Open and edit C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf in a text editor

  2. Find the line which contains

    #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
    

    and (uncomment) change to

    LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
    
  3. Find all occurrences of

    AllowOverride None
    

    and change to

    AllowOverride All
    
  4. Restart xampp

That’s it you should be good to go.
