Enable engine_rewrite mod

[ASTRAPI]

Hello

Is there a option in easy apache to add the engine_rewrite mod?

I didn't find it.

Thanks

Hi there,

Not heard of engine_rewrite mod.. Do you mean mod_rewrite apache module ? Also, let me know the apache version on your server...

 

[ASTRAPI]

Yes mod_rewrite

Apache/2.2.3

You can check if the mod_rewrite is compiled on the server with the command as below

[email protected] [~]# httpd -l | grep mod_rewrite

If it is compiled on the server you will get the output as below

[email protected] [~]# httpd -l | grep mod_rewrite
mod_rewrite.c

If you get the above output mod_rewrite is a built in module. You do not need to enable OR compile it on the server.

Ok thanks

mod_rewrite capabilities are enabled by default. This cannot be disabled in EasyApache.

I got this



[email protected] [/]# httpd -l | grep mod_rewrite
bash: httpd: command not found

I got this

bash: httpd: command not found

How about this?

# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl -M | grep rewrite

httpd binary path and httpd symbolic link to apachectl

# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl -M | grep rewrite

What mickbeng posted is correct and should work OK.

[email protected] [/]# httpd -l | grep mod_rewrite
bash: httpd: command not found

Please note the full path to the installed "httpd" binary is as seen below:

# /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -l | grep rewrite

Separate and different from the "httpd" binary, there is a symbolic link for the command "httpd" -- if the "httpd" symlink to "apachectl" is missing, as seen via stat then the symlink may need to be recreated; here is an example of stat output when the symlink is setup and is not missing:

# stat /usr/sbin/httpd | head -n2
  File: `/usr/sbin/httpd' -> `/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl'
  Size: 31        	Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   symbolic link

If it is missing and you see the following error of "cannot stat" then the symlink should be recreated:

# stat /usr/sbin/httpd | head -n2
stat: cannot stat `/usr/sbin/httpd': No such file or directory

To recreate the "httpd" symlink to "apachectl" the following example command may be used via root SSH access:

# ln -fnsv /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl /usr/sbin/httpd
