    MivaMia and .htaccess files

    Hi,

    I am new to Miva and am trying to work with an existing site. Rather than play with production, I am trying to get a development environment setup on my machine.

    I have a windows Virtual Machine setup with Mivamia and MySQL. That's it... no php or apache installed.

    I can kinda get the home page up (mm5/merchant.mvc) but not much else works. Near as I can tell, it's because the production site relies on some rules setup in the .htaccess file.

    Is there anyway I can do this on a windows machine? Can I enable .htaccess with MivaMia?

    Thanks

    I'm sorry but there is no way to get .htaccess files to be processed by Mia. Your only option on Windows would be to use IIS and Empresa and then you would have to find a plugin for IIS that would allow you to use a .htaccess file. You could also turn off short links in your store under Global Settings -> Domain Settings -> SEO Settings.

    If you host with us we could set up a development subdomain on the server that would allow you to develop your store in the same environment that your production store runs in.

        Take a look at your HOSTS file in Windows. Your location may vary. This may resolve an IP address or domain name to your local Mia web server.

          I'm sorry but Empresa is not compatible with Apache running on Windows servers.
