How to check whether mod_rewrite is enable on server?

Currently I am using the hosting with lightspeed server. Hosting says mod_rewrite is enabled but I can't get my script working there. Whenever I try to access the URL, it returns 404 - not found page.

I put the same codes at another server which is running with Apache. It's working over there. So I guess, it's the .htaccess and mod_rewrite issue.

But Hosting support is still insisting with me that their mod_rewrite is on, so I would like to know how can I check whether it's actually enabled or not.

I tried to check with phpinfo(), but no luck, I can't find mod_rewrite there, is it because they are using lightspeed?

Is there any way to check? Please help me out. Thank you.

FYI: my .htaccess code is

Options -Indexes

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

I tried like this also

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

But same result.

Solution 1:

from the command line, type

sudo a2enmod rewrite

if the rewrite mode is already enabled, it will tell you so!

Solution 2:

1. To check if mod_rewrite module is enabled, create a new php file in your root folder of your WAMP server. Enter the following

   phpinfo();

2. Access your created file from your browser.

3. CtrlF to open a search. Search for 'mod_rewrite'. If it is enabled you see it as 'Loaded Modules'

4. If not, open httpd.conf (Apache Config file) and look for the following line.

   #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

5. Remove the pound ('#') sign at the start and save the this file.

6. Restart your apache server.

7. Access the same php file in your browser.

8. Search for 'mod_rewrite' again. You should be able to find it now.

Solution 3:

If you are using a virtual hosts configuration file, make sure the virtual host in question has the directive AllowOverride All somewhere like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ...
    <Directory "directory/of/your/.htaccess">
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Basically, this states to allow processing of all .htaccess directives.
