RewriteRule doesn't work in .htaccess files on this server

When trying to set up new-rewrite:
I entered the location of cURL in settings, but then got the error : " RewriteRule doesn't work in .htaccess files on this server " when trying to protect a directory.

I am using Front Page and I know Front Page loves to mess with .htaccess every time you publish your web site.

Any ideas at how I can start troubleshooting this problem?

more...

One other thing which looks like a problem...

In the Setup > Plugin page, when I select new_rewrite then save and I do not get it's configuration option link at the top of the screen. Also no 1.php is being created in /amember/data/new_rewrite ....no on screen warnings of any errors.

TIA

I'm having the same problem getting new_rewrite displaying. I also don't have:

http://mysite.com/amember/data/tests/new_rewrite/1.php in that location.

/amember/data/tests/new_rewrite/.htaccess is also not there.

Checking my local copy, it's under /amember/data/new_rewrite but no .htaccess

Any ideas.

Thanks,
Greg

Me too

I have the (RewriteRule doesn't work in .htaccess files on this server) message, and have the tests/mod_rewrite directory, with .htaccess.

I am new at this program, but help would be appreciated

Nothing

I get:

The page cannot be found

But I knew that was going to happen, since I do not have a sub-directory called /data/tests/new_rewrite/1.php

I had the demo installed, and just installed the full version over the weekend. It is all working fine, and I have tested it with a credit card processing, that works too.

I am trying to get rid of the ugly password prompt window, and to put a user name/password login on the main screen of the site. I am assuming that this is the way to do it.

Hmmm

In Firefox I get "No input file specified."
In IE6 I get a 404

Yup, its there

I have the file at

amember/data/tests/mod_rewrite/1.php

there is also 2.php in that directory

and .htaccess

is that causing the problem?

Now it works

Alex, I must have done something wrong last time. I ran

http://www.MYSITE.com/cgi/amember/data/tests/mod_rewrite/1.php

and I get a page displayed that says:

1-first_file


Now what?

Hi all,

I know it's an old topic but I (my customers) has the same problem and I can only solve it by enabling allowoverride ALL in their vhost.conf file in httpd. since this is not really an option, I need some advise on what exactly to override in order to get mod_rw to work

access to protected area

Hi Alex,

I followed ur instructions from the forum, I am using a trial demo of amember pro, using phptriad.

now I had installed everything, and I used the url to 1.php and 2.php and i got the 1-second file for both the files.

now i have used in my .htaccess file the following:
"AuthType Basic
AuthName "Members Only"
AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/xyz.com/httpdocs/data/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /var/www/vhosts/xyz.com/httpdocs/data/.htgroup
Require valid-user

Now i get the following when i try to login and access my test subscription
error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /data/tests/mod_rewrite/1.php on this server.

can you help me what went wrong.


also when i removed the above from my .htaccess and saved with the defaults in .htaccess:
<Limit GET POST>
allow from all
</Limit>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule 1\.php 2.php

I keep getting that logon box even when i use my proper credentials i am still not been able to login.


Thanks in advance.

We have the same problem. Is there any solution to this?

After re-installing server this issue appear.

I am very sure that rewrite rule is enabled. We are on dedicated server.

I see solution here:
https://www.amember.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8488

but it is only for new rewrite
