Topic: mod_rewrite issue

[prem]

Hi All,
i was trying to make use of mod_rewrite to create clean urls, and I read so many articles that i can find that teaches how to achieve this and I still was unable to achieve it.

Since I find so many articles with regard to creating clean urls, i was a little confused, So I finally made a choice and started off with the basics and followed this article http://www.tutorio.com/tutorial/enable-mod-rewrite-on-apache which helps you to understand whether the mod_rewrite works, I`ve followed according to the instructions given and yet i could achive the result. I tried searching for "ClearModuleList", "AddModule mod_rewrite.c" in my conf and figured out they are deprecated along with the apache2+ versions.


OS: Win XP Pro
Server: Apache/2.2.0 (Win32)
PHP: PHP/5.1.2

The error message I get is

Code:

Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. Error 403 localhost 03/15/07 19:42:13 Apache/2.2.0 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8a mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.1.2

Can someone advice me as to what i`m doing wrong? would be greatly appreciate it. this is two days of frustration talking



TIA!

Hello,
how does your rewrite look like? Is one of the folder outside the htdocs ( doc root) ?
