# local Windows / XAMPP path problems

 * I have all my local development webs in D:/web
    XAMPP itself is installed in 
   D:\xampp
 * It seems to work fine, but for some webs, I have problems with the permalinks.
 * In the httpd.conf (D:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf) I defined an Alias like so:
 * DocumentRoot “D:/xampp/htdocs”
 * Alias /web “D:/web”
    <Directory “D:/web”> Options All Indexes FollowSymLinks 
   MultiViews Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
 * the .htdocs file that WordPress generates when I change the permalink structure
   is like that:
 * #AddHandler php5-fastcgi .php .php5
 * #<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    #RewriteEngine On #RewriteBase / #RewriteRule ^index\.
   php$ – [L] #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d #RewriteRule . /index.php [L] #</IfModule>
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /web/
   sveb.chruezundquer.ch/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /web/sveb.chruezundquer.ch/
   index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * And I tried all possible combinations, restarted Appache eacht time but nothing
   seems to work.
 * Does anyone know or have any idea what is propably wrong?
 * If I remove the permalink structure and use the default ([http://localhost/web/sveb.chruezundquer.ch/?p=123](http://localhost/web/sveb.chruezundquer.ch/?p=123))
   it seems to work, but since BuddyPress won’t function like this I need the permalinks
   like [http://localhost/web/sveb.chruezundquer.ch/2011/03/sample-post/](http://localhost/web/sveb.chruezundquer.ch/2011/03/sample-post/)
 * Any hints highly appreciated.

 * You mean .htaccess probably. It should be .htaccess in wordpress folder.

 * also look in the `httpd.conf` file and look for
    `#LoadModule rewrite_module 
   modules/mod_rewrite.so` be sure the `#` is removed to look like `LoadModule rewrite_module
   modules/mod_rewrite.so`

 * [@arkgroup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arkgroup/): yes, of course I 
   meant the .htaccess file, sorry for that and thanks for the hint.

   B: I just checked: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so is uncommented.
 * Maybe I have to change someting in this part of the httpd.conf?:
 *     ```
       <Directory />
           Options FollowSymLinks
           AllowOverride None
           Order deny,allow
           Deny from all
       </Directory>
       ```
