so i have a server running 10.5 server, and cannot get mod_rewrite to work. it says that it's installed and everything, according to phpinfo()
but it doesn't work. i have turned it on with httpd.conf and have set the Override to all
any ideas on how to make this work?
thanks in advance

Did you place your mod_rewrite rules in a .htaccess file in your site's folder and remember to turn on the rewrite engine?
Heres an example that rewrites requests from *.htm to *.php
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ $1.php [NC]
Don't know your experience with rewrite rules, but if you have already done this, posting your rewrite rules will help with diagnosing problems.
Also try test the rule I posted above by creating a php file and requesting it with .htm and see if you get the php version.
