Apache2

How to enable mod_write module in Apache2 installation with Ubuntu (JeOS 8.04)?

  • Login with root
  • ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ –> this will create a symbolic link to load the mod_write module
  • vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default –> open the default enabled site configuration
  • Locate AllowOverride which is set by default to none and change it to all. Save and exit with !wq

     <Directory /home/adminversl/>

                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride all
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
  • /etc/init.d/apache2 restart –> restart the Apache2 daemon and test the module. 
During my migration from hosted Wordpress installation to my own local installation this module was not enabled by default. Make sure to change the Permalinks in WP-Admin/Settings/Permalinks to default and reset to your own redirection. Another hint is to change the .htaccess permission to 777.
