Usually cpanel(WHM) compiles mod_rewrite by default. You can check with this:<\/p>\n

\n\nroot@server [~]# httpd -l|grep rewrite\n\n<\/pre>\n
So you must just activate it in your ‘.htaccess’ using:<\/p>\n
\n\nRewriteEngine On\n\n<\/pre>\n
To check if mod_rewrite module is enabaled, create a new php file in your root folder of your WAMP server. Enter the following<\/p>\n
phpinfo();<\/p>\n
Access your created file from your browser.<\/p>\n
Ctrl+F to open a search. Search for ‘mod_rewrite’. If it is enabled you see it as ‘Loaded Modules’<\/p>\n
If not, open httpd.conf (Apache Config file) and look for the following line.<\/p>\n
\n\n#LoadModule rewrite_module modules\/mod_rewrite.so\n\n<\/pre>\n
remove the pound (‘#’) sign at the start and save the this file.<\/p>\n
Restart your apache server.<\/p>\n
Access the same php file in your browser.<\/p>\n
search for ‘mod_rewrite’ again. You should be able to find it now.<\/p>\n
For Plesk Servers<\/p>\n
Log into your server via ssh as root.<\/p>\n
Mod Rewrite is enabled by default on plesk servers. You can verify this with the following command:<\/p>\n
\n \n# apachectl -M | grep rewrite\n\n<\/pre>\n
modify the vhost.conf file at \/var\/www\/vhosts\/example.com\/conf\/vhost.conf<\/p>\n
\n \n# replace "AllowOverride None" with "AllowOverride all".\n\n<\/pre>\n
restart apache with the following command: <\/p>\n
\n\nservice httpd restart\n \n<\/pre>\n
Create a .htaccess containing the following and upload it to the root of your site:<\/p>\n
\n \nRewriteEngine On\nRewriteRule ^google.html$ http:\/\/www.google.com\/ [R=301]\n\n<\/pre>\n
Going to http:\/\/www.yoursite.com\/google.html should redirect you to Google.com if you have mod rewrite enabled and your syntax is correct.<\/p>\n
