I am trying to get the .htaccess working in MAMP.

The content of the .htaccess is a simple redirect line but it does not work. I am trying to manipulate URLs of a WordPress page, so I added the .htaccess file in my theme folder, but it is not working.

Is there any settings within MAMP i need to change to get the .htaccess file to work?

  1. In httpd.conf on /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache, find:

    <Directory />
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>

  2. Replace None with All.

  3. Restart MAMP servers.
