Cannot get mod_rewrite to work on Mac OSX Mountain Lion
- by Joel Joel Binks
I have tried everything I can think of and it still doesn't work. I am trying to get the example code from Larry Ullman's Advanced PHP book to work. His instructions were a bit lacking so I had to do some research. Here is what I have configured:
username.conf
<Directory "/Users/me/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
httpd.conf
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so
DocumentRoot "/Users/me/Sites"
<Directory />
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "Users/me/Sites">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.so>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /phplearning/ADVANCED/ch02/
# Redirect certain paths to index.php:
RewriteRule ^(about|contact|this|that|search)/?$ index.php?p=$1
RewriteLog "/var/log/apache/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 2
</IfModule>
Nothing has worked and it won't even log to the rewrite.log file. What have I done wrong? FYI even when I set up an extremely simple rule or use the root as the rewrite base, it still fails. I have also verified the mod_rewrite module is running. I am really angry.
