How to check for mod_rewrite is enabled or not.
1- First of all create an empty file and name it test.html (or what you want) and upload this file on you
hosting server.
# touch test.html
2- Create a .htaccess file and put the following code into it. (create htaccess.txt file )
#touch .htaccess
-------------------------
|
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^test\.html http:
|
------------------------
Note: On windows machine first create htaccess.txt file, then adds
the above code into it, upload on server, after uploading remove the
.txt extension.
3- Now run this URL into your browser http://www.domain-name.com/test.html (replace domain-name.com with your actual
domain name).
If it redirects you on google.com then "mod_rewrite" is working on your
server host, if it is not, shows you a blank file means mod_rewrite is not working.
4- If your site runs in some folder then adds the folder name before
test.html and uploads the htaccess file in the root folder. Eg
