problem with removing index.php

[eluser]ekeretex[/eluser]
Updating my previous response, Apache doesn't come with mod_rewrite set up by default. However you can enable it if you need to.
I chose not to because I'm not sure if the syntax is exactly the same for Windows and Linux.

But if you want to,
Inside the Apache httpd.conf file uncomment the line LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so (remove the pound '#' sign from in front of the line).

Also find the line ClearModuleList is uncommented then find and make sure that the line AddModule mod_rewrite.c is not commented out.

Find the section with Document Root: DocumentRoot "C:/path/to/my/root"

Modify the option for AllowOverride to look like this:

<Directory />
Options All
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

mod-rewrite should now work on your windows box
