本地运行站点主页工作，但链接不起作用。 使用MAMP，PHP，MySQL

Question

I am running my site locally using MAMP on MAC OSX 10.6.8 and when type in to my browser the home appears and looks great, but if click to move to another page say signup it gives me

The requested URL /signup was not found on this server.

But if I type

//localhost/signup.php it works.

Sorry if this is a very obvious problem, but this is my first shot as using MAMP

Kind regards Simon

Answer 1

it seems that the site is using URL rewriting (mod_rewrite). This has to be set up properly.
