Does .htaccess/Mod_Rewrite work on Windows?

[sjaguar13]

I have a site that uses .htaccess and Mod_Rewrite. It's on a Linux server and works fine. When I tried it on my computer using EasyPHP, everything was a 500 error until I renamed .htaccess to 1.htaccess so it wouldn't work. Is there something I have to configure to set this up right?

If you have an Apache running, it should be fine. However, I have strong doubts these will work on IIS.

I was using Apache. Is there anything I have to configure? The Mod_Rewrite rule wouldn't have done anything to the URL I was looking at, but it still couldn't show it. The file was an html page, so it shouldn't have gotten the 500 error if the page really showed.

please post your httpd.conf, make sure your "LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so" is not disable .
