error while running project in wamp

Question

i have a website in php 5. I have downloaded all the files from the server and put all in my wamp (in a local system for changing some text). When i run localhost i got an error

**Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, admin@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log.**

I don't know PHP5.

Does any one know how to browse my site in local system.

Please help me

Thanks ina advance

Answer 1

Ok, by default, Wamp doesn't have url_rewrite enabled.

And your problem seems to be that of url_rewrite only.

Click on your Wamp Icon in the task bar, goto Apache -> modules -> scroll down to url_rewrite and click to enabled it.

This should solve your problem.

Answer 2

Check if " AllowOverride " instruction in main " httpd.conf " file allows you to use .htaccess files.
If not, make it " AllowOverride all " and restart your WampServer.
