This issue relates to differences between apache 2.2 and the newer 2.4.

You'll need to add this to your httpd.conf file where you set the vhost directory:

AllowOverride All
DirectoryIndex disabled
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec

I found the XAMPP and other stacks running 2.4 apache work fine after that and you can leave your indoex.php where it is (even tough technically you can remove it as htaccess does all the work there).

See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/silverstripe-dev/-xH6yZfC5Tc

Hope that solves it for you.

Awesome. That did it, thanks CamFindlay.

Coincidentally that is the second time you've helped me today. I enjoyed and commented on your talk on Silverstripe's Vimeo account today.

PS Looks like I've got two accounts on here. I'm Daniel B From the comment above.

No problem, I might look to add this into the WAMP documentation actually as the default versions of it are all running apache 2.4.

Also can you mark this thread as solved please. Just edit the first post in this thread and add [solved] to the start of the topic :)
Helps others with similar problem know where to look.

Hi CamFindlay,

I agree I think this would be helpful for a few people. Sorry if you weren't talking to me but I did not start the thread so can't edit to solved. Anyway thanks again.
