Enable .htaccess (2 replies)

I have tested a website on VirtualHost with an index.htm & it works fine. When I install the full website with .htaccess I get: 'This site can’t be reached xxx refused to connect. ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED'

I edited httpd.config:

<Directory />
#    AllowOverride none
#    Require all denied

# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
#   AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#   
AllowOverride all

</Directory>

I edited httpd-vhost.config:

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName ****
	DocumentRoot "g:/wampserver/www/****"
	<Directory  "g:/wampserver/www/****/">
		Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
		AllowOverride All
		Require local
	</Directory>
  <IfModule fcgid_module>
    Define FCGIPHPVERSION "7.4.33"
    FcgidInitialEnv PHPRC ${PHPROOT}${FCGIPHPVERSION}
    <Files ~ "\.php$">
      Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +ExecCGI
      AddHandler fcgid-script .php
      FcgidWrapper "${PHPROOT}${FCGIPHPVERSION}/php-cgi.exe" .php
    </Files>
  </IfModule>
</VirtualHost>

I restarted the WAMP but still no connection.

.htaccess reads:

RewriteRule ^ []%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
RewriteRule ^$ /current/ [R=301,L]

I noticed that the httpd.config autocorrects to:

<Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/****/">
