You need to enable Mod Rewrite in order to use pretty permalinks in WordPress or Clean URLs in Drupal.

However, WAMPSERVER does not enable Mod Rewrite by default.


To enable Mod Rewrite,

  1. Click on the WAMPSERVER icon in the system tray, and choose Apache.
  2. Click on Apache modules.
  3. Click on the down triangle until you see rewrite_module. Click to enable it.
  4. Restart All Services.
