i can’t find ”.htaccess” in win 7 ??!!

it’s build 7057 .
and i won’t use linux , because i’m using e-texteditor , till getting a mac to use texemate .
so , please don’t just say , use UBUNTU , because we use it ….

Hi,

There is no .htaccess files by default but you can configure Apache to use them. The Apache configuration file is <installdir>apache/conf/httpd.conf and the application configuration files are in <installdir>/apps/<application>/conf folder.

I hope it helps.

ok , thanks for response , but, unfortunately it’s still inactive after configuring apache !!
what i did are :

- in httpd.config :

1. AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
2. It can be “All”, “None”, or any combination of the keywords:
3. Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride All

1. Controls who can get stuff from this server. # Order allow,deny Allow from all

—-—-—-—-—-— and:

1. The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
2. viewed by Web clients. #
   <filesmatch> Order allow,deny allow from all Satisfy All
   </filesmatch>

and restart Mongrel and go the default app “rubystack” > public > ...?? then there’s no ”.htaccess”

i don’t know what’s wrong ?? should i creat a new app ??

while using WAMP , .htacces was there by default …

please give me details as possible , thanks again .

Hi,

Maybe it is due to Apache + Ruby On Rails configuration. Apache is configured as a proxy server between Mongrel servers. So Apache manages the requests send to the Mongrel servers. Maybe the .htaccess file should not be in the “rubystack > public” folder because this folder is only visible for Mongrel server, not Apache. I think that you should modify the proxy configuration to use an .htaccess file.

Cheers.

i couldn’t get how to modify the proxy configuration ….. well you mean in , httpd.confg ??
i wonder how did you ( the team )make the stack for windows and you said ” maybe ” ??!

please , if any one of you could tell where is the “proxy configurations” and what to modify ?
and where i’ll find ” .htaccess” after all

.... and if i’m using linux or OS X i think i’ll go to “Phusion Passenger” and just stick with apache with any Monrgel …. but there is no textmate alike for linux and still don’t have a Mac …..

so why it seems that you don’t really care with windows users …. , my case not depend on any way of installation or another version of apache !!! , it’s a static case ….. !!!

Sorry Ahmad if you think that we do not care windows users. I try to replay to all BitNami users and we will take care all BitNami Stacks. We have tested on XP and Vista (but not on win 7 yet, but it should run well) I have never replied “do not use Windows, you should use linux” in this forum.

BitNami RubyStack has the same configuration for Linux, OS X and Windows, using Apache as a proxy server to get a better performance. This configuration is commonly used by the Ruby On Rails community to scale applications. Currently the Stack does not use “Phusion Passenger” or “mod_rails” for any platform.

You can find more information about this configuration at:

Maybe this post is helpful for you:

i wonder how did you ( the team )make the stack for windows and you said ” maybe ” ??!

I have contributed to the Stack development but I said “maybe” because I have not tried the .htaccess configuration that you are trying, so I’m not sure how modify the Apache configuration to do that.

Cheers.

thank you “beltran” , and you didn’t say the linux thing , but check this you’ll know :
