How to enable mod_rewrite for Apache 2.2

Question

I\'ve got fresh install of Apache 2.2 on my Vista machine, everything works fine, except mod rewrite.

I\'ve uncommented

LoadModule rewrite_module mo         


        

Answer 1

In Ubuntu:

Run:

a2enmod rewrite

and then:

service apache2 restart

mod_rewrite will now be enabled!

Answer 2

I just did this

sudo a2enmod rewrite

then you have to restart the apache service by following command

sudo service apache2 restart

Answer 3

What worked for me (in ubuntu):

sudo su
cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
ln ../mods-available/rewrite.load rewrite.load

Also, as already mentioned, make sure AllowOverride all is set in the relevant section of /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
