CSV import results into error

I tried importing from csv file as per instructions, but it resulted into error. I can only see the homepages of admin and the user interface. Clicking on any menu item results into 'Object not found''The requested URL was not found on this server... Error 404'. I even modified .htaccess and the config file to identify the error, but nothing happened.

I installed omeka-2.3 on xampp v3.2.1

This is almost certainly a problem with mod_rewrite or the .htaccess file.

If rewriting is enabled and the .htaccess is in place, you might need to add a RewriteBase line containing the base part of your local URL (the part after the domain/IP/localhost).

I am new to wampp and omeka. this is my first try installing both.

How to know rewriting is enabled?

When i edited and saved .htaccess, i saw the file name vanished though i could see the file details on the folder list. Therefore, I renamed the file to ".htaccess"

Can't get your last point "need to add a RewriteBase line containing the base part of your local URL (the part after the domain/IP/localhost)"

ok I got the point. There was something wrong with renaming the .htaccess file.

I will again have to explore the reason for non-funcionality of my csv import.

unable to identify the error in csv import. Following are the content of errors file:

Hi,

You need to set the php path in application/config.ini.

If you use Linux, it will be:
background.php.path = "/usr/bin/php"

If you use Mac or Windows, it depends on your version and your installation.

Sincerely,

is this path to php.ini file in php folder?

Issue resolved, it was on xampp/php/perl/php.ini

I was using xampp 5.6.3, now i have turned up to omeka appliance on VM.
