Faq how can i find out if i have mod_rewrite

Here are a few ways to find out if you have mod_rewrite enabled on your server:

Method 1: Check your Apache configuration file

1. Open your Apache configuration file (usually httpd.conf or apache2.conf) in a text editor.
2. Look for the following lines:

   LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

   If you find these lines, mod_rewrite is enabled.

Method 2: Check your Apache version

1. Check your Apache version by running the following command in your terminal:

   httpd -v

   or

   apache2 -v

2. If your Apache version is 2.2 or later, mod_rewrite is included by default.

Method 3: Check your server's mod_rewrite status

1. Create a new file in your document root (e.g., test.txt) with the following content:

   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteRule ^test$ http://example.com [R]

2. Save the file and upload it to your server.
3. Access the file in your browser by visiting http://yourdomain.com/test.txt.
4. If mod_rewrite is enabled, you should be redirected to http://example.com.

Method 4: Check your server's error log

1. Check your server's error log for any errors related to mod_rewrite.
2. If you see errors related to mod_rewrite, it's likely that it's enabled.

If you're still unsure, you can try contacting your web hosting provider or system administrator for assistance.
