.htaccess is activated by default in XAMPP's Apache.

In case you do not use Xampps Apache (or created an Alias outside of DocumentRoot, or a different DocumentRoot for VirtualHosts etc.), you have to specify the "AllowOverride" directive to enable changes in .htaccess. This directive is part of the the <Directory ...> Block.

Example:

If you specify

Code: Select all
<Directory c:/srv/www/htdocs>
...
AllowOverride All
...
</Directory>


.htaccess in c:/srv/www/htdocs (or any subfolder) may override all directives of httpd.conf

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/en/mod ... owoverride for detailed information.
