Apache2-友好的URL

Question

I am using this code for creating friendly urls:

rewriteengine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

It should work so I could go to http://www.mywebsite.com/test but when I go my url it just says 404 Not Found but no error presents in the log file.

I am using Apache2 on Debian x86_64 and my question is do I need to change any settings for friendly urls to work?

There are many possibilities. Here are a few (some of them from SmartWebDeveloper.com ):

• Make sure the .htaccess file is named correctly. Make sure you didn't forget the . at the beginning, and that the file name is all lowercase.

• Make sure AllowOverride is set properly. If you look in your config files ( httpd.conf , and possibly other configuration files in the /etc/apache2/ directory), you may see a line like this: AllowOverride None . That line prevents your .htaccess file from changing things. (Note that this line may be present in the server configuration in multiple places - including the main configuration, the web root directory configuration (probably in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default ), and any VHost configuration files in the sites-enabled folder, so you need to find the one that is actually going to change things for this site.) Change it to AllowOverride FileInfo (if all you need is rewrites) or AllowOverride All (if you plan to use your .htaccess for other things.) A full description of AllowOverride is at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#allowoverride

• Make sure the rewrite module is enabled. If your rewrite configuration is enclosed in <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> and </IfModule> tags, or if your Apache is configured not to report .htaccess errors, you will not see anywhere that the module is disabled. To enable it, use a2enmod rewrite and restart your Apache server.
