The default Apache installation in EasyPHP did not activate the ability to use .htaccess files to change the server configuration in folders.
You must tell Apache which configuration can be changed with .htaccess files and in which folder. To enable all configuration changes on the main web server, you should edit http.conf (in the Apache / conf folder) and find:
<Directory "${path}/www">
and change
AllowOverride None
to
AllowOverride All
To better configure it, read the AllowOverride documentation at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride
Also check that http.conf is activated by mod_rewrite, look for:
And remove the leading "#"
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
