Reply To: Running BuddyPress on a local server
I got a little further on this topic myself and found out that some apache modules in the httpd.conf file should be enabled.
Here’s a description:
1. Open apache’s configuration file using your favorite text editor. The configuration file generally locates at:{apache_dir}/conf/httpd.conf
2. 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
Search for the following string:#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so and 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.
But this is not so straight forward in the new XAMPP 7.1.12-0-vm for Mac, because the apache httpd.conf file does not contain the #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite strings as described above.
