    I tried to enable FURLS in the following tutorial with no luck. I have access on the server to allow .htaccess files any ideas as to why it sill isn’t working?

      Make sure you rename the "ht.access" to ".htaccess" on your filesystem.

        Check post #7 in this thread and make sure you have those settings enabled.

          I tried that but no dice. mod_rewrite is also enabled in wamp. Here is what my host file looks like

            "Not working" covers a lot of ground. Can you describe exactly what’s happening?

              I finally got it working. The problem was i didn’t have allowoverride turned on in the Apahce configuration
