I was as giddy as a little school girl. I literally stood up cheered and laughing. Even shed a tear of joy after getting this to work. Anyone working for Ubuntu here’s your sign. WAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Another grateful reader — I had problems making clean urls with pmwiki, and couldn’t figure out why my setup on my own Ubuntu box was any different from the one on red hat at work.
Thanks.

Thanks SO MUCH! This finally fixed a Wordpress-MU problem I was having. I didn’t know you had to Allow at the base level for Alias Allow’s to work as well. Happy Happy Joy Joy!

unfortunately, it doesn’t work for me…and I really don’t know what am I doing wrong. All is set as it is described here, mod_rewrite works nice on my website, but not at localhost. Any ideas?

vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

NameVirtualHost *

…
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.+)\.(exe|zip|rar)$ /!index/download.php?file=/$1.$2

Guys, why not adopt XiCheng’s method at floor 12,
need not fucking AllowOverrides.

sudo ln –s /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load

vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

NameVirtualHost *

…
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.+)\.(exe|zip|rar)$ /!index/download.php?file=/$1.$2

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
