Why is this the default without saying it anywhere?! Thanks so much, I’ve been struggling for days trying to get mod_rewrite to work with my Elgg install but no luck. After reading your article everything is solved in a jiffie, I can’t thank you enough!

I was so frustrated when i wrote the above. It worked after i figured this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11326472

So this article is still good even after 6 years… amazing!

I can’t make this s*** work!

I know is because “Basically, to get mod_rewrite to work, load the module by symlinking to mods-available/rewrite.conf in mods-enabled”.
But i can’t find the file ‘rewrite.conf’ so i can’t make the bloody link…

I will never understand why the author didn’t provide some terminal command… i guess he likes poetry and talks.

Useless article for me and a big waste of time. I’m started to get sickened by Ubuntu: in the last 2 days 0 work @ my projects but full time work in making mysql, phpmyadmin, wordpress, netbeans and everything work on Ubuntu. I hope this pays off… i really really do!
