Enable Apache Rewrite Module in Ubuntu

There's have 3 steps to enable.

    First, add the rewrite.load to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/

    Code:

 

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

 

sudo a2enmod rewrite

 

Second, edit the apache configuration for my virtualhosting. For example, in my computer I only have one virtual hosting (/var/www) that is default from installation, so I make some adjustment for that (In my case I have to edit this file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default)

 

Code:

 

sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

 

Change the Allowoverride value to all for the document root directory
For example, I made change to this part of the configuration:

        





       <Directory /var/www/>





                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews





                AllowOverride all















                Order allow,deny





                allow from all





                # This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page





                # in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place





                # Commented out for Ubuntu





                #RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/





        </Directory>

 

 

Finnaly, just restart the apache

Code

 

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
