Steps to Enable mod_rewrite in MAMP

1. Locate the Apache Configuration File

• Open the Apache configuration file used by MAMP:

  /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf
  

• You can open it in a text editor:

  sudo nano /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf

2. Enable mod_rewrite

• Search for the line that includes mod_rewrite:

  #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
  

• Uncomment it by removing the #:

  LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

---

3. Allow Overrides for .htaccess

• Look for the <Directory> directive for your document root. It should look something like this:

  <Directory "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride None
      Require all granted
  </Directory>
  

• Change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All to allow .htaccess files to work:

  <Directory "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All
      Require all granted
  </Directory>
  

---

4. Restart Apache

• Restart MAMP to apply the changes:
  1. Open the MAMP application.
  2. Stop the servers using the "Stop Servers" button.
  3. Start the servers again using the "Start Servers" button.
