1. Open apache’s configuration file using your favorite text editor. The configuration file generally locates at:{apache_dir}/conf/httpd.conf
   If you are using XAMPP or WAMP package then you will find the file at:{xampp_dir}/apache/conf/httpd.conf
   {wamp_dir}/apache/conf/httpd.conf
2. Search for the following string:#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.soand uncomment it (remove the ‘#’ sign).
3. Now search for another string AllowOverride None and replace it by AllowOverride All
4. Finally save the changes, close your text editor and restart your apache server.
