Hello Everyone,

I am having trouble with the mod_rewrite. This is not working on windows
64bit. I am also having trouble with the directory password protection.
However thse bot work perfectly on my UNIX Mac.

From my experince I can see that this is due to file system compatibility.
Can anyone confirm this. You would be of greate help as I am going through
HELL right now. Can any suggest the best Unix or Linx OS for hosting phph
websites and MySQL.

Thank you very much in advanace.

By any chance, are you using IIS on your Windows machine?

Pretty much most hosting companies offer Linux web-hosting. My advice
would be to try and use a company based in the same country as you are,
because it's nice to be able to contact them during your hours when
something goes wrong. And be ready to accept that things may go wrong at
some point.

Thanks,

That is why mod_rewrite isn't working! IIS doesn't support that. It has
something else instead, by a name I forget just now. Afaik, you have to
purchase the support for this other bit as an extra module though.

Are you sure the PHP ones are running under Apache? Just to check, see
what you get in the $_SERVER array. Also, have you checked to see if
mod_rewrite is enabled in the httpd.conf file?

OK, what does your .htaccess file look like? Also, have you named it
correctly? It starts with a period (.) character, which Windows might
sometimes complain about.

PS, don't forget to hit reply to all, as the last few messages I keep
having to copy the list back in!

Erm, Wamp is Apache!

Well, have you done other things in the .htaccess that are failing,
causing the whole thing to fail?

Sorry about the reply to all. the htaccess files worked correctly on a wamp
setup I had. All this happened once I did the big move to apache.

Is it just me or should NON-PHP issues be kept out of the "php-general"
list? Use an Apache list/group instead? That's what I do when I have
issues with Apache, CSS, Ajax, Javascript, Unix etc.
