miniml Posted June 25, 2005 Report 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™
olajideolaolorun Posted June 25, 2005 Report 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 Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team

My code works with all other WAMP packages out there. I have installed Uniform Server as a Win service if that helps. Quote coastaldisturbance™
olajideolaolorun Posted June 25, 2005 Report 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 Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team
miniml Posted June 25, 2005 Author Report Posted June 25, 2005 Yes, it works now with +FollowSymLinks, thanks! Quote coastaldisturbance™

bebs Posted August 4, 2005 Report 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
olajideolaolorun Posted August 4, 2005 Report 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 ... Quote Best Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team
AlleyKat Posted August 5, 2005 Report 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
