Hello ,

you may have observed that xampp’s apache gave out 500 internal server error when you try to run wordpress on any other script that use apache rewrite module ,

you can get rid of that simple uncomment a line in httpd.conf

if you install xampp in default location c:\xampp

then you can find apache conf file in

c:\xampp\apache\conf

open httpd.conf in wordpad or notepad++ or notepad

find :

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

and replace it with :

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

note # is removed , now just stop apache using xampp control panel and then start it and it will work ,

please post your feedback if this helps.
