I'm trying to host a local WordPress site on my machine using Xampp.
I got everything working, I can get on the site etc. However I can't change the Permalinks without editing the .htaccess, and here lies my problem.
I've removed the "#" in front of the "Load rewrite" module in Xampp, and also changed the "AllowOverride All".
If I add in my own .htaccess file into the WordPress root (Xampp/htdocs/mysite/) then the error comes up, otherwise it doesn't. I have hidden files visible yet I can't see a .htaccess file there, even adding a blank one breaks it.
I'm new when it comes to this so any help is appreciated.
