Hey, I've got LAMPP installed in Ubuntu and I want to get .htaccess working but I don't know how. And, yes, I have searched all over Google.

Cheers,

What do you need done with .htaccess? Have you found it, but it's not doing what you need? How far along are you in setting up your site/apache stuff? Thanks -- we need as much context as possible to give you a good answer. – belacqua Feb 4 '11 at 6:24

LAMPP should be configured to enable .htaccess already. If you want to be sure, check for this line in /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Your web-root is located at /opt/lampp/htdocs. I usually make a symlink from the project I'm currently working on (so that htdocs is a symlink to /home/fraekkert/Code/Web/myProject).

You should then be able to just create a .htaccess file in your htdocs folder and use it right away.

Have a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html for some reference on how and what to do with .htaccess.

basically you need to enable rewrite module which is done by 

sudo a2enmod rewrite

And also you need to have AllowOverride in your configuration set to All and not None

and in ubuntu the configurations are found in apache2.conf
