Apache ReWrite Module Setup on Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake

By Sakib Farid

To setup the Apache ReWrite Module on Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake (virtual host setup) all you need to do is create a symbolic link for the rewrite.load in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/

sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/

Restart Apache webserver

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Now in your .htaccess do

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule.....

Thats all. It should work.
If its still not working for you then open /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/your-virtualhost-conf-file
and add in between your <Directory> tag

AllowOverride All

Restart Apache and thats it, your all done.
