Modifying .htaccess for WAMP in windows environment

Sometimes when want to use SEO friendly link, we got to modify mod_rewrite module in httpd
config file.

However in Joomla running on WAMPSERVER ( windows Apache, MySQL, PHP ) , the file was initially named as htaccess.txt

In order to make it work, the file shall be renamed to .htaccess instead.

Here is where the problem appear. when use “Windows Explorer” to rename this file
from “htaccess.txt” => “.htaccess”

Windows would complain as following : “You must type a file name. !”

Solutions :

use the “command prompt”
by pressure “Windows button” + “R” , type in cmd.

and type the following to change the desired folders :

cd D:/foldername

then.. the renaming above file would be as simple as

rename htaccess.txt .htaccess

Done renaming , then proceed to edit with your favourite text editor as usual.
Which , I personally prefer to use Notepad++

    Good Morning ,
    I have a TL-WR1043ND router Ver 1.10 and not able to find Hardware version, as what I understood from other posts that this should be then Hardware version 1.
    Have installed OpenWRT in total 3 files :
    German stock firmware (v3.9.17)
    – attitude_adjustment 12.09-rc2 and
    attitude_adjustment 12.09-rc2 and able to able access my router TL-WRT1043ND

    I guess that it is my age (59) but I a losing it on the configuration and explanation, first the first of all on many images that I have seen on the internet in the part Internet -> Swith VLAN witch is starting with PORT 1 -2-3-4-5-CPU however on my installed OpenWRT it starts with PORT 0-1-2-3-4-CPU so I guess something is already wrong on my side, having said this most images are related to HARDWARE VERSION 1.8

    My main goal is to get connect to UNIFI Malaysia (20MB connection) I know that Unifi provides an IPTV package but to honest I don’t need this IPTV connection at all.

    The bottom line, I like get connected to UNIFI with OPENWRT and I am really begging f someone can assist me in to get connect to Unifi. I know it is labor day (May 1) but will be great full if somebody can assist me.
