mod_rewrite is a module for the Apache webserver that allows apache to dynamically change the url of a site using php (or other scripting languages). It seems like a difficult/confusing task at first, but it actually only takes 2 steps in Ubuntu. I’m using Feisty Fawn, 7.04, but this should work well for Edgy and Dapper without any issues. Any code snippets should be typed into a terminal. “sudo” commands require a password, that’s a given.
- Enable mod_rewrite in Apache
sudo a2enmod rewrite - Edit the configuration file.
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default- line 12 says “AllowOverride none” ;
- change it to “AllowOverride all”
- save and close
- Okay… one last step — you have to manually restart Apache (or restart your computer!)
sudo apache2 -k restart
All done! now Apache and php can create URL’s on the fly – pretty neato!

Awesome. Huge help.
I have been beating my head against a wall figuring out why PHP5 wasn’t working, this fixed it in 5 minutes. Thanks for the help.
Wow. Thanks a lot.
All the help I could gather up to now was only dealing with apache2.conf ;
editing ‘default’ really was the point.
You just saved my night !
