Enable mod_rewrite in apache

mod_rewrite_guide.md

• Apache configuration file

  • ubuntu -> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
  • arch -> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

• Add mod_rewrite and .htaccess support for your site At the end of the configuration files add these lines:

  #My site mod_rewrite configuration
  <Directory "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/YourSite">
    AllowOverride All
  </Directory>
  

• Enable mod_rewrite

  • ubuntu: sudo a2enmod rewrite
  • arch: Uncomment, in apache configuration file, the line LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

• Restart apache

  • ubuntu: sudo service apache2 restart
  • arch: sudo systemctl restart httpd

Hi,

Thanks for the guide. I'm using arch and followed everything, but when I got to the part where I uncomment the line LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so, I found it was never commented in the first place. I still get Internal Server errors even though mod_rewrite is enabled. Do you know why this is?

Hey, just wanted to say thanks, your solution really did the trick!
Btw I use Arch.

AllowOverride All did the trick, thank you.

Thank you so much
it's work for me and I use Arch

Thanks you sir,

Hey man, you saved me, took a little bit of time to get here, but your guide was pretty neat, arch here...

Your solution also works for Manjaro as it is an Arch-based distro. Thanks :-)
