mod_rewrite, Apache2 and Ubuntu Gutsy
2007-11-18 by xpheas
The mod_rewrite module is not activated by default, if you need the module, do this:
1. Open a Konsole and type "sudo a2enmod" (the apache module-configuration tool)
2. Enter the module name "rewrite" and press enter
3. Open "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default" with sudo rights and change the "AllowOverride" option from "None" to "All" in the first 2 <Directory /> Blocks
4. Restart the webserver (sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload) and the module should work!
