How to Check If Mod_Rewrite Is Enabled in PHP

How to check if mod_rewrite is enabled in php?

If you're using mod_php, you can use apache_get_modules(). This will return an array of all enabled modules, so to check if mod_rewrite is enabled, you could simply do

in_array('mod_rewrite', apache_get_modules());

Unfortunately, you're most likely trying to do this with CGI, which makes it a little bit more difficult.

You can test it using the following, though

strpos(shell_exec('/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl -l'), 'mod_rewrite') !== false

If the above condition evaluates to true, then mod_write is enabled.

How to enable mod_rewrite on Apache 2.4?

I found the way to know if a module is loaded or not, here's to command to list the modules enabled:

apachectl -M | sort

It will list all enabled modules alphabetically.

Wordpress has an .htaccess but default where it enables rewrite_module for its use:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

The only thing that i had to do was add this to the vhost.conf file at /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.conf

<Directory /var/www/mysite>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    Require all granted
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

That's because I'm handling my hosts in that file. But it could be done at httpd.conf, or any other .conf file that is Included to the httpd.conf

Thanks...

why isn't my mod_rewrite working even when it is enabled?

Please change the conf as below to allow the access in your /etc/apache2/sites-available or /etc/httpd/conf.d/

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
