Re: [users@httpd] Where would I find RewriteEngine and .htaccess

[Ola Ogunneye <oo...@adventisthealthcare.com>]

Sorry to be such a pain, but I am a true newbie and I have never written
any directive. So could you please tell me where exactly I need to put
the rewrite directive?

"Put it in the same place you put your RewriteRule/RewriteCond
directives"

Is this in any part of the httpd.conf file or must it be at a particular
location?

Thanks in advance

Ola

See:

Put it in the same place you put your RewriteRule/RewriteCond
directives.
