.htaccess: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Under Apache 2+ you can simply do as below (Using Linux Terminal):
sudo a2enmod rewrite && sudo service apache2 restart
or
sudo a2enmod rewrite && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Check to make sure you have mod_rewrite
enabled.
From: https://webdevdoor.com/php/mod_rewrite-windows-apache-url-rewriting
- Find the httpd.conf file (usually you will find it in a folder called conf, config or something along those lines)
- Inside the httpd.conf file uncomment the line LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so (remove the pound '#' sign from in front of the line)
- Also find the line ClearModuleList is uncommented then find and make sure that the line AddModule mod_rewrite.c is not commented out.
If the LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
line is missing from the httpd.conf file entirely, just add it.
Sample command
To enable the module in a standard ubuntu do this:
a2enmod rewrite
systemctl restart apache2
