phpinfo() mod_rewrite

Question

I'm attempting to perform some url rewriting, and after looking at the phpinfo file, I can't see any mention of this.. My host is FastHosts. Should I be looking for something else in the `phpinfo()` or should I assume that `mod_rewrite` is simply `disabled`?

Accepted Answer

`mod_rewrite` is an apache module, not a PHP module. It isn't visible in `phpinfo()`. Create an .htaccess in some subfolder and make sure it contains:

```
RewriteEngine on
```

Point your browser to the folder. If you get a Server Error, it isn't installed. Otherwise it is.

phpinfo() mod_rewrite
