| Posted by iJemuel, 03-23-2008, 05:02 PM | | Hello
I have a VPS and I need to enable mod_rewrite.
Here is my PHP Info: http://techguyboy.net/phpinfo.php
I read a tutorial but I just don't get it. I would appreciate if you could help me out. I need it for my Wordpress blog.
Thanks

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Remove the # and restart Apache. If you cannot find this line you need to recompile Apache to include the mod_rewrite.

What do you mean? How do I do this?
Thanks

| Posted by iJemuel, 03-23-2008, 10:05 PM | | Anybody? Please
Thanks

|
| Posted by UltraUnix, 03-24-2008, 12:19 AM | | May I know how did you install your apache? is it through OS package, compiled from source or through control panel ?
|
| Posted by iJemuel, 03-24-2008, 06:17 AM | | I have Centos 5 with LxAdmin.
I have no idea in how to recompile it. Can you guys post some instructions? Thanks
|
| Posted by tix3, 03-24-2008, 07:42 AM | | Ive just seen that you are not running apache but lighty.
Lighttpd has its own mod_rewrite that you shou enable in its configuration file at the
point.
You could switch to apache through lxadmin and use the usual mod_rewrite module.
*If you are trying to install one of the many free CMS that come with an .htaccess full of mod_rewrites the possibility is that they will not work with lighty unless you edit them.

| Posted by iJemuel, 03-24-2008, 04:05 PM | | I will try that later tonight.
Thanks
|
| Posted by iJemuel, 03-24-2008, 04:30 PM | | ok. Where do I find those files?
EDIT
I think is this one. This is what I have in the file( lighttpd.conf): http://techguyboy.net/myhttpdconf.txt
I need mod_rewrite for a Wordpress blog. Do you think it will work fine with Wordpress? If not, how can I change to Apache?
Thanks

| Posted by tix3, 03-24-2008, 05:21 PM | | I dont have any lighttpd ATM so I can play with and my experience with lighty is really limited.From your configuration it seems like mod_rewrite is enabled.
You could see this site fot instructions of how to use wordoress with lighty.
If you want to switch to apache lxadmin ->server setup -> switch program and change at the webserver choose apache.
|
| Posted by iJemuel, 03-24-2008, 05:35 PM | | After I choose Apache, what do I have to do?
Which one is better? and faster?
Thanks
|
| Posted by tix3, 03-24-2008, 05:52 PM | | In my opinion there is no better solution there is the solution that better fits your needs.
Lighty is lighter and (probably) faster than apache (especialy in a vps with limited resources).
On the other hand apache is widely used so you can find more modulesand you may have help by a lot more people.
*To change to apache you should follow the instruction i gave you and press update.

| Posted by iJemuel, 03-24-2008, 10:02 PM | | ok, I just chnaged to Apache but I am still having the same problems in my blog.
