miniml 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2005 Hello, When I try to use mod rewrite in my .htaccess file, I get: "ForbiddenYou don't have permission to access / on this server." Rewrite rules doesn't matter, it happens with any rule, all it takes to happen is to turn it on: "RewriteEngine On" Quote coastaldisturbance™ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olajideolaolorun 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2005 Here are the things that might be affecting this, a is that you have the DENY setting in the .htaccess or is that you are doing something wrong with the mod_rewrite code... I will try and test it here... Thanks Quote Best RegardsOlajide OlaolorunThe Uniform Server | Triple O, LLC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My code works with all other WAMP packages out there. I have installed Uniform Server as a Win service if that helps. Quote coastaldisturbance™ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olajideolaolorun 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2005 I do not think that is the problem.. I got the same error while trying also and searched Google. Here is what you need to do, shut down your server, edit the .htaccess file and enter this: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On And then restart and it should work without a problem, i hope.. it worked on mine.. Thanks... Quote Best RegardsOlajide OlaolorunThe Uniform Server | Triple O, LLC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bebs 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2005 Hello, My problem is exactly the same, but I am not allowed to use the FollowSymLinks options, for it jams my application (namely WordPress blog for multiusers). I could not figure why the RewriteRule seems to change the access rights in Uniform, and any hint would be appreciated! Thanks a lot for this great package, as it is the one and first major problem I got after 1 year of extensive use, thanks ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olajideolaolorun 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2005 Why are you not allowed to use the FollowSymLinks option for the application? I will try and search Google to find other ways that can help ...

AlleyKat 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2005 http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks As I recall its just putting the Options line before all the wordpress generated code in the file. It may also need a RewriteBase directive if run in a subfolder. I think there are a set of 'divider' comment lines in the .htaccess? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
