Install and Enable Mod_Rewrite Module in Apache

Question

I'm using Bluehost as my hosting provider and trying to connect a script. After uploading the files and scripts through FTP I got these error messages:

URL rewriting must be enabled on your server Install and enable the mod_rewrite module in Apache.

And then:

Your web server can handle HTML post data Disable the security rules that prevents HTML POST.

I've tried searching on how to enable it, but all I get is tutorials to do this through Ubuntu, and other tutorials that haven't helped. Any help is appreciated thanks

Answer 1

In apache, you need one fiel ".htaccess" , search about that file on the google and try to understand it. In ubuntu,there is some command are available to make url rewritable.

command-1. sudo a2enmod rewrite

this command will turn on the url rewriting.after then restart your apache server.

command-2.(restart apache) sudo service apache2 restart

now you can see the if mod_rewrite is enable or not make one php file

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

if you open this file in the browser you can search mod_rewrite and you can check it that mod_rewrite is there or not.I have also attached the screen shot so you can get that.enter image description here
