How to enable mod_rewrite in Apache on Ubuntu

jc /     Great Article!

We have Magento 1.6 installed in a sub-directory. We've coiepd .htaccess and index.php to the root directory. So we have 2 .htaccess files:

/.htaccess

/magento/.htaccess

The site works fine except for this index.php in the url. Does anyone have any insight on how to remove it when your installation is in a sub-directory.

Ive already verified that:

1. httpd.conf's Allow Override = All

2. System->Config->Web->Use Web Server Rewrites = Yes

3. System->Config->Web->Use Secure URLs in Frontend = Yes

In /.htaccess   RewriteBase /magento/

In /magento/.htaccess   #RewriteBase (commented out)

Thanks!

Hi

1. you don't need .htaccess in the root directory;

2. in the /magento/.htaccess you need something like this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /magento/

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /magento/index.php [L]

</IfModule>
