Centos htaccess not being read

Question

I\'m working on a new server and I installed via yum the \"Web Server\" group. Php and mysql work fine but I can\'t get .htaccess to work.

Heres my test .htaccess file:<

Answer 1

1. /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:replace AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All

2. httpd -M | grep rewrite_module should result

rewrite_module (shared)

Still not working even after making sure all above in place? Then make sure your .htaccess has below line at the top.

RewriteEngine On
