How to enable mod_rewrite for Apache in CentOS
Date: 10-07-2021
CentOS 7 and later versions have mod_rewrite installed and enabled by default. Open terminal and run the below command to check if mod_rewrite is already enabled in your system.# httpd -M | grep rewrite
If you see the output like below, mod_rewrite is already enabled in your CentOS linux.rewrite_module (shared)
If not enabled, open Apache module configuration file by using following command.#vi /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-base.conf
check the below line #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
and remove the # sign at its beginning, to enable mod_rewrite.LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
If you don’t find the above line, just add it to the configuration file and restart the apache service.
Thank you!
