Need to use httpd.conf instead of .htaccess for rewrite.

Question

I am working on a host that blocks my .htaccess file from being used so I can not change my permalinks using it. I need to figure out what code to use and where to put it in my httpd.conf file to get the same effect.

The code in the .htaccess file is below:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

You'll need to wrap that code in a <Directory> directive. Where it goes will depend on what else you've got in your http.conf file. See the Apache docs for more info.

However, as blockhead says; if your host won't let you use .htaccess files, you've got virtually no chance of being allowed near the httpd.conf file.
