I have installed Apache/2.0.49 (Win32), php, mysql, perl, and a bunch of perl mods on my windows 2000 pro system.

And i am having problems with it obaying my .htaccess files, it just does not see them, and obay them, can you help me with it, because im stuck.

:) thanks

Place "AllowOverride All" in the correct <Directory></Directory>

Tried it, still does not work.

Maybe try to change .htaccess files to have a different filename? Since .htaccess don't have a filename, they might not work on Windows too well.

Make sure you havn't accosiated them to open with a program. If you have, it won't display the .htaccess (so therefore the entire filename) and possibly the icon too

well if i have the .htaccess in a folder with no index it shows the file list, and it does not show up, would i help if i posted my httpd.conf in here?
