Check your error logs, make sure Apache is actually running, and check your Listen, VirtualHost, and Allow/Deny settings.
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED doesn't sound like the kind of thing that can result from a simple RewriteEngine usage. Unless an error killed apache. Most of the ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED related SO answers seem related to Apache or a VirtualHost not listening on an IP or the order of Allow/Deny entries denying access. ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://danielfriesen.name/] On 2015-08-24 2:20 PM, Brenton Horne wrote: > Hi, > > I'm running Sabayon Linux (64-bit, up to date with all updates -- it's a > rolling release system to version numbers are irrelevant) and while I > managed to install MW 1.25.2 on it successfully I cannot seem to shorten > URLs properly.
