You need to run “a2enmod rewrite” to enable apache mod_rewrite.
hon@hon-desktop:~/web$ sudo a2enmod rewrite Module rewrite already enabled hon@hon-desktop:~/web$
In my case it was already enabled, still .htaccess was not working.
It was the default site, so i need to edit
sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
Find
<Directory /var/www/html/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory>
In that find
AllowOverride None
Replace with
AllowOverride All
Now restart apache
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

When installing ffmpeg-php in a debian server, i got error
# phpize -bash: phpize: command not found #
This is because php-devel package is not installed on the server.
Before installing, you need to find out whether php is installed from source or apt-get
On CentOS, you can find it by
yum list |grep php
On Debian/Ubuntu, dpkg -l list all packages installed.

In this server, php is installed from apt. So to install php-devel, i run
apt-cache search php5 | more
This command list all php5 packages available. From the list i found

By default ubuntu 9 have chmsee installed to view windows chm help files.
chmSee is ok for reading chm files, but there is no search function. If you have a reference chm file, it is not easy to find some thing you need with out search function.
I have installed xchm that have search function and also shows bookmarks.
