[raimond]

I changed the httpd.conf and the right php.ini to enable mod rewrite.

But when i use this, I always get blank pages

why?

What changes did you make in the httpd.conf file?

What changes relating to mod_rewrite did you make in the php.ini file and why?

I changed the httpd.conf
from
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
to
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

and changed to
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

This is correct if you want to use the mod_rewrite module and is the only change required.

and changed to
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

This should be the default entry in the httpd.conf file and would not need changing, unless you were wrongly advised to change it to allow open access to your directories in the first place.

Now I don't see a post here relating to the changes you may have made in the php.ini file

...and the right php.ini to enable mod rewrite.

Now where, what file, are you adding the mod_rewrite statements to or is it just a prerequisite of a script you are trying to run?

More info about mod_rewrite:

i thought i did change something in the php.ini, but i didn't

I have a whole store on my webserver which actually is a prerequisite script which works on other servers, but doesn't work at home on a xampp-server
