How To Check If Mod_rewrite Is Working

one thing you can do is to be sure you have in set in your apache configuration file: httpd.conf

so open httpd.conf and be sure that you dont have comment

so open and look for this line:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

when you find it, tell me how you have it

ok, i found it, this is how it looks:

#LoadModule mime_magic_module modules/mod_mime_magic.so
#LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
#LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
#LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
#LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so
#LoadModule negotiation_module modules/mod_negotiation.so
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
LoadModule setenvif_module modules/mod_setenvif.so
#LoadModule speling_module modules/mod_speling.so
#LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so
#LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.so
#LoadModule userdir_module modules/mod_userdir.so

oh ok, you need to uncomment the rewrite module.

change from this:
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

to this:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

save the changes and restart your apache server.

should work now
