Thread:Manual talk:Short URL/Apache/AllowOverride All

I am a bit confused:


 * 1) I want to use
 * 2) I have root access (on a cloud server running Ubuntu 13.04) and would prefer NOT to use an .htaccess file
 * 3) However when I put my domain name into shorturls.redwerks.org it will only generate the code for a .htaccess file.

Therefore, I ignore the auto-generated code and:
 * 1) go to edit the   file.
 * 2) I am reminded Don't forget to enable overrides by  . It is disabled by default in Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.10. Nothing about Ubuntu 13:04. I assume this is referring to   but   it appears several times there. Do I change them all or just one? I change them all, and save.
 * 3) I change the LocalSettings.php file as instructed
 * 4)   won´t work
 * 5) rebooting the server results in a correctly formed Short_url but the wiki itself is brokemn.
