Hi there,
Ive been browsing alot o threads lately about SEO Friendly URL´s problems.
For those of you running Debian or Ubuntu servers (although this probaby apply to more distros).
The way to configure Apache2 to work with .htaccess files is this way:
Edit the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
Change this:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# Uncomment this directive is you want to see apache2’s
# default start page (in /apache2-default) when you go to /
#RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>
To this:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride
All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# Uncomment this directive is you want to see apache2’s
# default start page (in /apache2-default) when you go to /
#RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>
And if you have more folders in that configuration file, please change those to to accept htaccess files.
Alot of you have this put up on Virtual servers using the apache2.conf file though, so this might not apply to many.
But for you new starters out there, having a hard time finding the config files, this is the place
