We've got a fresh CentOS box and we need to enable nice urls / permalinks. We're running Apache with mod_rewrite installed but I'm aware I need edit a few config files to get the basics up and running.

What are the steps and files that need to be changed in order to get it up and running?

I'm afraid you're going to need to be a lot more specific than that. What are you trying to do? Do you have a webserver already installed? What are you serving? – David Pashley Jun 3 '09 at 11:43
Sorry your right, I will clarify :) – Tom Jun 3 '09 at 11:57

I agree with David Pashley - this is a somewhat vague question.

However I'm going to take a guess from looking at the question tags that you're using Apache as your webserver. In which case you will want to explore Mod_Rewrite http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html and modify either your Httpd.conf or .htaccess files to manipulate url rewrites.

If you're using Lighttpd you would want to look at http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/lighttpd/Docs:ModRewrite

There are still a lot of 'ifs' in your question you might want to elaborate on. Some web frameworks will handle this for you (Rails, Django, CakePHP, etc.)

Just incase anyone else is looking for the answer simply edit

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Find the line

Change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All

Restart, Win
