I was trying to install a ELGG 1.8 in my local Windows XP with XAMPP. Unluckly I am getting the below error during installation.
I have checked all the tutorials and FAQs on this, and it looks fine for me. I do not see any issue with the mod_rewrite and other options of config. I even tested the rewrite using the tips available in ELGG docs.
Please help me, as I got struck when I started to learn plugin development.
We think your server is running the Apache web server.
The rewrite test failed and the most likely cause is that AllowOverride is not set to All for Elgg's directory. This prevents Apache from processing the .htaccess file which contains the rewrite rules.
A less likely cause is Apache is configured with an alias for your Elgg directory and you need to set the RewriteBase in your .htaccess. There are further instructions in the .htaccess file in your Elgg directory.

You must log in to post replies.Can someone help me on this?
Have you followed the instructions in the message? They look pretty clear to me - for example, is AllowOverride set to All?
By the way, I'm also running XAMPP under Windows and all I needed to do to run Elgg was to make sure that the line:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
was in apache/conf/httpd.conf
Kevin: As said I have made sure that they are enabled, both mod_rewrite and AllowOverride.
The issue is solved. :)
I was using https instead of http in my XAMPP.
hi which file did u change it to http instead of https? cuz I am getting the smae error at the moment and am trying to solve it
