<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some times you faced issues that Apache server is not reading your .htaccess or Apache is not rewriting urls while we are using correct rewrite rules in configuration files. This happens due to <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/Apache" target="_blank">Apache</a> rewrite module is not enabled. When we installed a fresh Apache server mod_rewrite is not enabled by default on your server, So to use rewrite configurations you need to manually enable mode_rewrite module on your system.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We use <b><orange>a2enmod</orange> </b>command to enable any modules in <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/Apache" target="_blank">Apache2 </a>web server. So use following command to enable <span style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; font-size: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">mod_rewrite</span> module in your Apache setup.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After enabling Apache rewrite module, now you need to add “<span style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; font-size: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">AllowOverride All</span>” in your VirtualHost configuration file. This setting can also be enabled globally by editing Apache main configuration file.</span></div>
