Clean URLs on Debian Etch

I can’t get clean urls working at all on Debian Etch. in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, I’ve put:

<Directory /var/www> AllowOverride FileInfo
</Directory>

And my .htaccess file looks like:

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

#Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options -Indexes

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/

	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
	RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]

	RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

	RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization}  !^$
	RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>

#php_value register_globals 0

Anyone know how to solve this issue?

Thanks

Re: Clean URLs on Debian Etch

Did you enable mod_rewrite in Apache? You should be able to do this with the following command on the console (command line):

aenmod rewrite

Re: Clean URLs on Debian Etch

Then remove the <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> and </IfModule> parts and check if you get errors.

Re: Clean URLs on Debian Etch

I commented out those two lines and there doesn’t appear to be any change

Some possibilities…

1. Are you using virtual hosts? If so, is there anything in your <VirtualHost> section for that site turning off .htaccess overrides (ie. AllowOverride None anywhere?)
2. Do you have a non-standard AccessFileName directive in your httpd.conf (or VirtualHost directive) such that the configuration file is no longer the default .htaccess but something else?

Re: Clean URLs on Debian Etch

I don’t have VirtualHosts configured on apache. httpd.conf only contains

<Directory /var/www>
AllowOverride FileInfo
</Directory>

Any AccessFileName directive in your apache2.conf file?

Re: Clean URLs on Debian Etch

Hmm, sorry Daniel, I’m stuck then. You could try asking in #apache on irc.freenode.net

Re: Clean URLs on Debian Etch

I figured it out…

I was editing the httpd.conf which I thought would recognize the AllowOverride edit… but apparently I needed to make the edit in/etc/apache2/sites-available/default.
