mod rewrite

[Sudhakar]

hi

i am using a cms which requires mod_rewrite to be enabled for seo urls

in the wamp that i use in my local machine in the httpd.conf file i
have this line and removed the comment
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

when i view the phpinfo i can see that mod_rewrite is on in the Loaded
Modules

i am guessing that my hosting might not allow to edit the httpd.conf
file so i tried adding the following to the .htaccess which is in the
root directory

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

and uploaded the .htaccess file and when i viewed the phpinfo i do not
see mod_rewrite for my webserver

also on my server i would be installing the cms in a separate folder
after the root directory, so i guess the .htaccess file should be
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /foldername

how do i go about enabling mod_rewrite in the .htaccess file as i
might not be able to edit httpd.conf

please advice.

thanks

Which has nothing to do with PHP.

That's normal: mod_rewrite is not a PHP extension so it won't show up in
phpinfo(). Just test whether it works.

As I said, it's completely off-topic here. Your best resources are
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/ and the alt.apache.configuration
newsgroup. However, it's pretty likely that your hosting company has
specific documentation about enabling Apache stuff in their servers.

JFTR: If PHP runs as an Apache module, phpinfo() also shows informations
about the server itself, including the loaded modules.
