title: Use .htaccess file on an apache localhost server
body: <p>Alright, I got an Apache localhost server up and running with PHP and MySql. Now I want to be able to use a <code>.htaccess</code> file as well to use <code>RewriteRule</code>, But I'm at a loss where to put it.</p>
  
  <p>I have these directories:</p>
  
  <p><code>C:\dev\progs</code> where Apache PHP and MySQL are stored, each in their own sub-directories, ie. <code>C:\dev\progs\Apache</code> and so on...</p>
  
  <p><code>C:\dev\www</code> where all the site files are stored.</p>
  
  <p>I need to know where to put the <code>.htaccess</code> file, what configuration I need to do, and if what I'm my hopes and dreams are all for nothing.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
