My first try with this, I removed the line, thinking maybe I didn't need it with an httpd.conf file. I was never able to get it working, however, and it is because that directive is essential. Instead, you must do the following:</p> <p>&lt;Directory /&gt;<br /> &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;<br /> RewriteEngine On<br /> RewriteBase /<br /> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br /> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br /> RewriteRule . /index.php [L]<br /> &lt;/IfModule&gt;<br /> &lt;/Directory&gt;</p> <p>Note the Directory tag. That should work. Hope this helps someone.</p> <p>- endianx - </p>
