Laragon Apache - htaccess is being ignored

md458

I've already edited the httpd.conf. Mod_rewrite is enabled.

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

DocumentRoot "C:/Users/mda/Desktop/Work/example.com"
<Directory "C:/Users/mda/Desktop/Work/example.com">
Options All
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

Have a .htaccess file in document root. No matter what i change it to, nothing happens How do i solve?

@md458 : You should use Apache 2.4 settings:

from what I gather in link is one should use AllowOverride All in order to allow .htaccess being processed, which I have in my .conf file. But it still gets ignored....

I encountered similar issue when i initially moved to Laragon. The fix is actually simple.

Laragon is compiled with its httpd.conf set to reject overwrite on the document root.
To edit this, check the file on
{LARAGON_ROOT}/bin/apache/httpd{other-version-details}/conf/httpd.conf
and the file somewhere around line 251 to 278 change AllowOverride to All and restart your Laragon Server.

That fixes it

Hi,

I'm also still stuck with this problem as none of the following solutions seem to work.
Does anyone has any idea how to make it working?

I was stuck with this as well.
What I did was to create a new laravel project using laragon. That fresh site worked without a problem from the start. The difference was the .htaccess file itself, slightly different when compaired to the one on my project (which started as a laravel 5.4 project ). Now it's laravel 5.8 but I guess I never upgraded its .htaccess file.

What were those differences, no clue. All I can say with the new one it worked perfectly.

If you try this, just be careful with if run a different version of Apache on production servers and properly test the new .htaccess file.

I know, this kinda sounds like "reboot your computer and try again" ( hoping for the best). But hey, it worked for me.

TRY TO RUN
http://my-project-name.test/
instead of
http://localhost/my-project-name/
