Enabling mod_rewrite on Amazon Linux
The LoadModule directive will load a module dynamically.
Try issuing RewriteEngine on
in a virtual host followed by apachectl -t
to confirm weather or not the module is actually loaded.
I just started a fresh amazon linux and had the same issue and the Options FollowSymLink
were there but the next line AllowOverride None
had to be changed to AllowOverride All
My configuration was correct but I needed
Options FollowSymLink
in my DocumentRoot's declaration in httpd.conf for mod_rewrite to work.
