Allow htaccess and Mod Rewrite in Wamp

You must enable mod_rewrite before you can use it. If you want to enable it in httpd.conf, then use

Options FollowSymLinks Fileinfo
or
Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Fileinfo

If you wish to enable mod_rewrite at the .htaccess level (i.e. only in certain (sub)directories within each vHost and not for all (sub)directories of each vHost), then you must set allowOverride Options (at a minimum) in httpd.conf, and place one of

Options +FollowSymLinks
or
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

in the .htaccess file(s) to enable mod_rewrite.
