CoolUri plugin for typo3

This is perhaps more of a convenient place for me to store install instructions than anything… BUT:

Installing CoolUri in Typo3 on linux / apache2 / php5

apache2ctl and apache2 virtual host blah blah

Gary pointed me to apache2ctl the other day and now I cant live with out it.

Useful things:

apache2ctl – t (check the syntax of virtual host files BEFORE reloading and breaking apache)

apache2ctl – M (show all the loaded modules – ie. check if rewrite is enabled and working)

apache2ctl – E (log startup errors to file)

apache2ctl – h (show the rest of the options)

Also, I was having issues getting a “real url” module called cooluri working for a typo3 site. In the end it was because my virtual host file was missing (link) :
AllowOverride All

Thats one of those things thats happened before but was forgotten along the way …. hopefully it will be useful for someone out there searching for why mod_rewrite isn’t working the way it should do….
