How i know, is apache mod_rewrite is enabled

To know about the apache mod_rewrite module is enabled, we can follow two technique. One is using phpinfo other apache_get_modules function.

Let we use phpinfo function first,

1. Create a file on your localserver root directory and renamed it something like this "phpinfo.php".
2. then, add this,
   
   <?php echo phpinfo(); ?>
   
   and save it.
3. Then go to your browser and write address like: localhost/phpinfo
   
   there you see a pic like this
   
   
   
   
   Look at Loaded Modules and i viewed here only mod_rewrite. Because i already enabled it. If you do not see anything like this, it assume that you have not enable mod_rewrite module.

 The another technique is,

1. Create a file on your localserver root directory and renamed it something like this "mod.php".
2. Then add this code snippet,
   
   <?php
   print_r(apache_get_modules());
   ?>
3. Then go to your browser and write address like: localhost/phpinfo
   
   there you see a array like this
   
   Array (
                       [0] => core
   
   [1] => mod_log_config
   [2] => mod_logio
   [3] => prefork
   [4] => http_core
   [5] => mod_so
   [6] => mod_alias
   [7] => mod_auth_basic
   [8] => mod_authn_file
   [9] => mod_authz_default
   [10] => mod_authz_groupfile
   [11] => mod_authz_host
   [12] => mod_authz_user
   [13] => mod_autoindex
   [14] => mod_cgi
   [15] => mod_deflate
   [16] => mod_dir
   [17] => mod_env
   [18] => mod_mime
   [19] => mod_negotiation
   [20] => mod_php5
   [21] => mod_reqtimeout
   [22] => mod_rewrite
   [23] => mod_setenvif
   [24] => mod_status
   )
4. I highlighted the mod_rewrite module. Here it exists because of i have this module already enabled. If you have not this, you need to enable this module.
