 * Hello there!
 * I’ve been trying to figure out how to get “pretty links” to work on my local 
   development machine. I am using Apache 2.4.7 (x64) with PHP configured through
   mod_fastcgi 2.3.9 (also x64); all built for Windows machines.
 * I have direct access to all of Apache’s server configuration files. I use VirtualHosts,
   along with hacks to my hosts file ( to fake DNS registrations on my machine )
   to work with multiple sites at the same time. Below is the current configuration
   for my particular WordPress Installation.
 * [ Excrept ]…
    ` <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@wordpress.test
   DocumentRoot "C:/rel/httpd/docs/wordpress.test" ServerName wordpress.test ServerAlias
   www.wordpress.test ErrorLog "logs/wordpress.test-error.log" CustomLog "logs/wordpress.
   test-access.log" common
 *  <Directory "C:/rel/httpd/docs/wordpress.test">
    Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride
   All Require all granted </Directory>
 *  <IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.php </IfModule>
 * </VirtualHost>
 * The .htaccess file WordPress generates is writable; here is it’s current configuration:
 * `
    # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / 
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * If you need any additional information; let me know! I’ve been going crazy over
   how to set this up correctly!
