.htaccess not working on localhost with XAMPP - .htaccess

i m using XAMPP but i m not able to use .htaccess file at local host. i m trying so many times.. Online working good. but local host showing [The requested URL was not found on this server]
My root folder is real
localhost/acre/real/property_available.php
localhost/acre/real/properties
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /acre/real/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^properties$ /property_available.php/$1 [NC,QSA]
</IfModule>
Please

Just had a similar issue
Resolved it by checking in httpd.conf
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All <--- make sure this is not set to "None"
It is worth bearing in mind I tried (from Mark's answer) the "put garbage in the .htaccess" which did give a server error - but even though it was being read, it wasn't being acted on due to no overrides allowed.

In conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf, add the line AllowOverride All for all the websites that you are having problem with
<VirtualHost example.site:80>
# rest of the stuff
<Directory "c:\Projects\example.site">
Require all granted
AllowOverride All <-----This line is required
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Try
<IfModule mod_rewrite.so>
...
...
...
</IfModule>
instead of <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

Without seeing your system it's hard to tell what's wrong but try the following (comment answer if these didn't work WITH log error messages)
[STOP your Apache server instance. Ensure it's not running!]
1) move apache server/install to a folder that has no long file names and spaces
2) check httpd.conf in install\conf folder and look for AccessFileName. If it's .htaccess change it to a file name windows accepts (e.g. conf.htaccess)
3) double-check that your htaccess file gets read: add some uninterpretable garbage to it and start server: you should get an Error 500. If you don't, file is not getting read, re-visit httpd.conf file (if that looks OK, check if this is the only file which defines htaccess and it's location and it does at one place -within the file- only; also check if both httpd.conf and htaccess files are accessible: not encrypted, file access rights are not limited, drive/path available -and no long folder path and file names-)STOP Apache again, then go on:
4) If you have IIS too on your system, stop it (uninstall it too if you can) from services.msc
5) Add the following to the top of your valid htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "/path/logs/rewrite.log" #make sure path is there!
RewriteLogLevel 9
6) Empty your [apache]\logs folder (if you use another folder, then that one :)
7) Check the following entries are set and correct:
Action application/x-httpd-php "c:/your-php5-path/php-cgi.exe"
LoadModule php5_module "c:/your-php5-path/php5apache2.dll"
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Avoid long path names and spaces in folder names for phpX install too!
8) START apache server
You can do all the steps above or go one-by-one, your call. But at the end of the day make sure you tried everything above!
If system still blows up and you can't fix it, copy&paste error message(s) from log folder for further assistance

I had a similar problem. But the problem was in the file name '.htaccess', because the Windows doesn't let the file's name begin with a ".", the solution was rename the file with a CMD command. "rename c:\xampp\htdocs\htaccess.txt .htaccess"

for xampp vm on MacOS capitan, high sierra, MacOS Mojave (10.12+), you can follow these
1. mount /opt/lampp
2. explore the folder
3. open terminal from the folder
4. cd to `htdocs`>yourapp (ex: techaz.co)
5. vim .htaccess
6. paste your .htaccess content (that is suggested on options-permalink.php)

For windows user, make sure to closely look at this section.
RewriteRule ^properties$ /property_available.php/$1 [NC,QSA]
As said in Apache documentation :
The mod_rewrite module uses a rule-based rewriting engine, based on a
PCRE regular-expression parser, to rewrite requested URLs on the fly.
So ^properties$ means Apache will only look for URL that has exact match with properties.
You might want to try this code.
RewriteRule properties /property_available.php/$1 [NC,QSA]
So Apache will see the URL that has properties and rewrite it to /property_available.php/

I've setup xampp for my localhost as well, I've not done anything with the files created by xampp during or after setup.
But in the '.htaccess' file, make sure you've set it to something like this. Works for me, and this should not make any difference for you.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^filename/?$ filename.html
Change .html to whatever format you're using.
Make sure your install is clean, and just make the .htaccess file.
Also remember to put one .htaccess file for each directory (don't really know if you can use ONE file for all folders, but to be safe, just do this and it will always work.

Edit the .htaccess file, so the first line reads 'Test.':
Test.
Set the default handler
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

Why does this RewriteRule work for all extensions but .php?

This simple RewriteRule that I am using for practicing with .htaccess files works almost always:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^.*$ test.html
When I have the file flowers.html and I use http://localhost/flowers I get redirected to test.html, however when I rename flowers.html to flowers.php I get a 404 page with the message The requested URL /flowers was not found on this server. Does anyone know what causes this?
EDIT:
When I create an empty file called flowers it does redirect properly to test.html. What is going on here?
This does sound like a conflict with MultiViews, so try adding the following at the top of your .htaccess file to disable MultiViews:
Options -MultiViews
MultiViews is not enabled by default, so maybe this has been enabled in your server config?
When MultiViews (part of mod_negotiation) is enabled, a request for /flowers (no extension) will result in Apache searching for an appropriate file to return (based on mime-type) by trying various file extensions of files found in that directory. This is achieved with an internal subrequest before mod_rewrite runs.
However, it's not clear why this would be a problem in your case if you have no other directives? Since your directive simply rewrites everything to test.html (which should include any subrequests). (I was unable to reproduce this behaviour on my Apache 2.4 test server - hence my initial doubt.)

.htaccess file 404 error with parallel plesk server

I have my .htaccess file working in localhost. But its not working if i upload it in server. It throws me 404 error.
I am using Parallel Plesk 11.0.9 and i can't find conf file for the same on that. If anyone has any idea how to fix it or any workaround for url rewriting would be great help.
Anyway here's the code in htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^store/living/Hutches-Armoires-Side-tables-Coffee-tables-Entertainment-centers? store.php?store=Living
RewriteRule ^store/dining/sideboards-buffets-chairs-benches-Dining-table$ store.php?store=Dining
RewriteRule ^store/working/Bookshelves-Study-tables$ store.php?store=Working
RewriteRule ^store/accessories/Boxes-Photo-Frames-Mirror-Frames-Block-Stamps-and-Book-stands$ store.php?store=Accessories
RewriteRule ^store/hallway/Console-tables-Armoires$ store.php?store=Hallway
RewriteRule ^store/sleeping/Bed-Frames-Night-Stands-Dressers-Mirror-framesBed-Linens-Canopies-Curtains$ store.php?store=Sleeping
You may need to wrap your rewrite rules with:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
...
</IfModule>
...probably a good idea anyway.
Or you could try putting your rules into a vhost.conf file in the conf directory immediately below the location of your httpdocs directory. For example on a Centos machine the web root might be
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs
and you should have a:
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf
directory, this will contain a set of pregenerated Apache config files that Plesk creates. If there isn't already create a vhost.conf and add your rules between a set of
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/ >
... your rules ...
</Directory>
Once you've created the vhost.conf file you will need to tell plesk about it with
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-domain domain.com
If you still can't get it to work you can add a log for mod_rewrite, see this relevant SO answer for details
Is your Plesk running IIS and supporting PHP via FastCGI or ISAPI? If that is the case, check whether URL Rewrite is installed and follow this guide to translate htaccess (for apache) into web.config (for IIS)

htaccess rewrite resulting in 500 Internal Server Error

I am trying to get pretty urls using htaccess for SLIR image resizing plugin.
I want to rewrite something like below:
Before Rewrite:
localhost/img/600x400/slider/image.jpg
After Rewrite
localhost/application/public/slir/index.php?r=slir&w=600&h=400&i=img/slider/image.jpg
But the following code is returning a 500 Internal server error...
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)/([0-9]{1,4})x([0-9]{1,4})/(.*)\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png) application/public/slir/index.php?r=slir&w=$2&h=$3&i=$1/$4.$5 [NC,NE,QSA,L]
</IfModule>
Please help me.....
UPDATE
I thought it was a File Permissions issue...
so I checked all the related directories and files, surprisingly there were all 755/644.
Then I directly checked the /application/public/slir/index.php. It was not accessible.
I created another file named hello.php in the same slir directory and hello.php was accessible.
Then I moved the SLIR directory to the another folder named public. Here, both the index.php and hello.php were accessible.
After that, I moved SLIR directory to back to the original scripts folder. In scripts folder, hello.php is accessible but index.php is not accessible.
Now, Both files have same permissions and are in same folder.. I dont know what is happening here... :/ :/
Someone please help me......
In case anyone else is looking at this - the problem I found was these two lines in the htaccess file:
php_value auto_prepend_file none
&
php_value auto_append_file none
some servers don't allow them.
moving them to my php.ini file solved it for me:
auto-prepend-file = none
auto-append-file = none
That is probably because you are editing the .htaccess file with a Windows based editor like notepad. Notepad adds some characters to the file which you can't see, but they mess with the .htaccess. I recommend using an editor like Notepad++ and setting the mode to Unix, so it won't mess with the server..
Speaking technically that is because Linux and Windows have different type of EOL ( End Of Line ) so that notepad adds some characters to the end of every line to go to the next line, but Unix won't recognize them, because it has it's own type of EOL..
Slashes are normally forbidden in query strings, but you can enable them by setting
AllowEncodedSlashes directive.
You may also want your rewrite rule to use percent encoding for slashes (that is %2F) so after rewrite:
localhost/application/public/slir/index.php?r=slir&w=600&h=400&i=img%2Fslider%2Fimage.jpg

Apache mod_rewrite works in .htaccess but not httpd.conf

I'm experimenting with mod_rewrite for the first time (I'm a web newbie, but trying to learn). I'm trying to get bob.html to redirect to alice.html (read: URL stays the same, page content is alice.html). Both files are in /var/www/. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 w/Apache 2.2.16.
Here's what works in the .htaccess file placed in the /var/www/ directory:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^bob.html$ alice.html
</IfModule>
This behaves as expected, but it does not work when moved to the httpd.conf file (just learning best practices w/performance and such). I read somewhere that when using mod_rewrite in httpd.conf file, leading slashes are required, so my httpd.conf file looks like:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/bob.html$ /alice.html
</IfModule>
I also read that /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default needs to have AllowOverride set to All.
<Directory /var/www>
...
AllowOverride All
...
</Directory>
I think that's just for use with .htaccess but I wasn't sure so I just left it in.
With all of these configuration settings, the redirection does not work. I've tested to make sure the file itself is being read (someone suggested httpd.conf isn't used anymore and apache2.conf is used instead) by inserting erroneous code. I've taken a look at a couple other questions/answers but I still cant figure it out.
Edit: It should be noted that I'm using /etc/init.d/apache2 restart after each change to httpd.conf to restart Apache and (hopefully) reload the configuration.
Try wrapping the rewriterules in your httpd.conf file in <Location /></Location> tags. The seems to alter the behavior making it more similar to the .htaccess file.

How to make mod_rewrite *not* perform home directory expansion when using .htaccess

Filepath: /Users/user_name/Sites/example.com
Browseable at: http://localhost/~user_name/example.com/
In a child directory (chrome) I got a .htaccess like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^rgba\((\d{1,3}%?,\s?\d{1,3}%?,\s?\d{1,3}%?,\s?[0-1]?\.?\d+)\)$ rgba.php?rgba=$1 [PT]
This matches a request like:
http://localhost/~user_name/example.com/chrome/rgba(255,255,255,0.5)
and should rewrite the request to:
http://localhost/~user_name/example.com/chrome/rgba.php?rgba=(255,255,255,0.5)
I put the rgba.php in the chrome directory. Still I get this error msg:
The requested URL /Users/user_name/Sites/example.com/chrome/rgba.php was not found on this server.
I read the part in the manual about Home directory expansion and the [PT] flag but it makes no difference.
If i put up a vhost pointing to the example.com directory it works. I would like it to work both ways =P
So how do I do it?
I run Apache/2.2.15 (Unix) on a Mac OS X
EDIT
AllowOverride is set to All for the users Sites directory. If it wasn´t the rewrite shouldn´t have worked at all.
I spent half a day wracking my brains on this and the only solution I could find was to create a new VirtualHost with the DocumentRoot set to the user's home directory.
Holy god that was frustrating. But I have it working.
I tried a bunch of stuff. I thought that the PT flag on the RewriteRule would fix it, but nope.
I still don't know how to stop the home directory expansion, but I figured out a workaround. Just before the RewriteRule, use RewriteBase /~user_name/example.com/chrome/. This overrides the rewrite's prefix (log entry from my config):
<SNIP> (2) [perdir /Users/colin/Sites/ajaxtest/] trying to replace prefix /Users/colin/Sites/ajaxtest/ with /~colin/ajaxtest/
UPDATE
This solution works somewhat, but it appears to make the rewrite engine trigger twice... once for the internal redirect, and again afterwards. I ended up just using a VirtualHost like the other submitter.
Allow overrides in you configuration file for your home directories.
