How to enable apache Mod_Rewrite module?

To enable “mod_rewrite” module on apache server, you could use the command for CentOS:

a2enmod rewrite

Afterwards, please restart your webserver with the command:

service httpd restart

Be aware that you need a rewrite rule, which you might place in a .htaccess – file in your documentroot like for example:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

For CWP

/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -M|grep rewrite

if you get output like “rewrite_module (static)” then you have it installed.

Otherwise add

<Directory "/home/ACCOUNT_USERNAME/public_html">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

/usr/local/apache/conf.d/vhosts/MYDOMAIN.COM.conf
