I have a OS X 10.6 install working, with Apache and PHP installed.

However, I cannot get mod_rewrite working. The contents of my httpd.conf is located here: http://pastie.org/828990

Does anyone know what vital thing I'm missing?

Can you give us any more information on what is/isn't working? Any error messages in the logs, for example? – Tim Yates Feb 17 '10 at 15:27
Absolutely nothing - I'm getting the index.php, and no evidence that re-writes are even present. – Neil Middleton Feb 17 '10 at 15:28
what is the url you type? what does your hosts file contain? What does your vhost file contain /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf? – Olivier Pons Nov 23 '11 at 21:00

You also need to update /etc/apache2/users/[name].conf where name is your user name on your computer.

If that file doesn't exist, create it. Then update it to allow mod_rewrite rules:

<Directory "/Users/[name]/Sites/">
  Options Indexes MultiViews
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

You need "RewriteEngine = on" somewhere in your config, but I can't see it anywhere. This turns on RewriteRule, etc.

I have this in my .htaccess files – Neil Middleton Feb 18 '10 at 10:27
OK, that's not the problem then. Are you able to show the rewrites that you are trying to do as they aren't in the main config? – Cez Feb 18 '10 at 20:40

Keith Norman's answer is correct. However, in my case - a cusual home server I use for hobbying/testing - I work directly off the "base" directory of the HTTP server, rather than a /~user directory. Consequently, I needed to alter the following line in /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf:

# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
#   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All

Previously it stated:

AllowOverride None
