I am trying to get mod_rewrite to work by using a .htaccess file on my localhost server.
My apache2.conf file contains:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
And:
Include mods-enabled/*.load
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load file contains:
LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so
The .so file exists.
service apache2 restart
shows no warnings/errors
My .htaccess contains:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^?]*)$ /process.php?path=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
And it's located at /var/www/wp/wp-content/plugins/myplugin/
process.php contains print_r($_SERVER);
I am visiting http://localhost/wp/wp-content/plugins/myplugin/randomstring and always getting a 404 error.
I tried changing the .htaccess file to a random string trying to trigger a 500 error to make sure the .htaccess was being "executed"(?), but still getting a 404 not found error.
var_dump(in_array('mod_rewrite', apache_get_modules()));
returns true
what am i doing wrong? This always works on my online servers.
