Links not being rewritten

Links not being rewritten

Hi there,

I've just installed the latest moodle (1.61+) onto my local laptop here and have been having some troubles after restoring a course. It seems as though links to other files aren't being rewritten to be passed through file.php.

For example, my content consists of a frameset page which defines a left hand menu, and a main content frame on the right.

Here is a snippet of the code from the frameset page as created in Dreamweaver.

<frameset cols="271,*">
<frame name="contents" target="main" src="LH_menu_index.htm">
<frame name="main" src="ABC012/ABC012_top1.htm" scrolling="auto">
</frameset>

Normally the "src" parameters of the frames (and img's, and the href's of anchor tags) are rewritten so that it looks something like:
file.php/31/ABC012/ABC012_top1.htm
...but this isn't happening on my latest install, and i'm getting 404 errors when it tries to look for http://localhost/moodle/ABC012/ABC0123_top1.htm

I've been looking at the code for file.php, but I can't seem to see exactly where it rewrites the links.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks,
Nick.
