I've gotten mod_rewrite to work on my laptop a few months ago. Now I'm trying to get it to work on my desktop, but it's not working. I've downloaded and reinstalled several times. I've googled and uncommented and allowed all in the httpd file. My htaccess file in htdocs is not hidden. My account has full permission on the htaccess file. It works online fine, but not through Xampp or Wamp.
I have Windows Vista Home Edition installed.
