htaccess and php 7

I am trying php 7 beta on a bitnami wamp server, and a regular page is working. That is I tested pdo with a select query and got results. However all I get when trying the framework 5.1 is blank pages, not even the initial page comes up. All settings are the same as with with the old php 5.6 wamp server. Does the htaccess file need changing for php 7? Or is there something different I need to change in httpd.conf? Thanks

.htaccess is used by the apache webserver and not by PHP. It sounds like some kind of permission issue or fatal php error. What does the error log say?

I tried Laravel 5.1 on Php 7 beta and mine is working. I only tested a simple page and a simple edit, I did not test all pages and everything however.
