<br />
==1st Method==<br />
For Yii I had the problem where the rewrite in the htaccess file wasn't working<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
Options +FollowSymLinks<br />
IndexIgnore */*<br />
RewriteEngine on<br />
<br />
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br />
<br />
# otherwise forward it to index.php<br />
RewriteRule . index.php<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
This was because Apache2 didn't have rewrite enabled by default, and the default site configuration had AllowOverrides set to None<br />
<br />
First I created a symlink<br />
<pre><br />
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Then<br />
<pre><br />
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All thus:<br />
<pre><br />
DocumentRoot /var/www<br />
<Directory /><br />
Options FollowSymLinks<br />
AllowOverride All<br />
</Directory><br />
<Directory /var/www/><br />
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews<br />
AllowOverride All<br />
Order allow,deny<br />
allow from all<br />
</Directory><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Restart Apache<br />
<pre><br />
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2/restart<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==2nd Method==<br />
From Zend setup:<br />
===Configure Apache===<br />
We need to make sure that rewrite_module is enabled in apache2 for the Zend Framework to work properly, so lets check:<br />
<pre><br />
a2dismod<br />
</pre><br />
Hopefully you should see rewrite listed in the list of modules that are currently enabled. If not, press enter to disable nothing and then issue:<br />
<pre><br />
a2enmod rewrite<br />
</pre><br />
Then we need to enable AllowOverride All in the default site file<br />
<pre><br />
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default<br />
</pre><br />
<pre><br />
[...]<br />
DocumentRoot /var/www/<br />
<Directory /><br />
Options FollowSymLinks<br />
AllowOverride All<br />
</Directory><br />
<Directory var/www/><br />
Options FollowSymLinks <br />
AllowOverride All<br />
Order allow,deny<br />
allow from all<br />
</Directory><br />
[...]<br />
</pre><br />
Restart Apache afterwards:<br />
<pre><br />
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart<br />
</pre></div>Chris
