RewriteRule in XAMPP [htaccess]

[chadderbox]

Before I get started I'm going to tell you I went into "apache/conf/httpd.conf" changed the following:

"#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so"
to
"LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so"

AND

"AllowOverride None"
to
"AllowOverride All"
(in three different spots)

But it still isn't working.


This is an example of what I'm trying to mod_rewrite in .htaccess

RewriteRule ^register(|/)$ /register.php
RewriteRule ^register_submit(|/)$ /register.php?doSubmit
RewriteRule ^register_messages(|/)$ /register-messages.php
RewriteRule ^register/cancel(|/)$ /register-cancel.php
RewriteRule ^register/welcome(|/)$ /welcome.php
RewriteRule ^register/undefined(|/)$ /index.php

Thanks,
Chad

What do you get? 500 error or the URL rewriting doesn't work?

Try two things:

1:

RewriteEngine On

in your .htaccess, before any rewrite rule.

2:

^/register

For everything, instead of ^register (/ = webserver root).

I get Error 404 Object Not Found!

1) I have that already
2) It's not that it isn't going to the right place because when I click on the Cancel it goes to "http://WEBSITE/directory/register/cancel" (which is correct) but it says error 404. (in the htaccess register/cancel is register-cancel.php and when I go to that page it works fine...

Something is wrong with your regexp then.

^register(|/)$

Since when do we put (|/) for "nothing" or "a slash"?
It should be

^register/?$

And same goes for all others.

O_O, i thought it's way more easier? anyways I'm trying this out.

Well what you said doesn't work... I uploaded it to a web host and other stuff in the .htaccess works but not the ReWrite stuff.
