Problem
- mod_rewrite doesn’t work for a vhost.
- Even though phpinfo() shows, that the mod_rewrite module is loaded
Cause
- The mod_rewrite for this vhost is activated by a custom .htaccess file in the document root of the vhost.
- Activation is not possible, because the site configuration for this vhost doesn’t allows it.
Solution
- Change the appropriate line in the site configuration file for this vhost
- Restart Webserver
Example
- vhost is www.foo.private
- Related conf file is /etc/apache2/sites/000_any_80_www.foo.private.conf
- Find the line containing “AllowOverride None“
- Change it to “AllowOverride All“
Nice to have
- A global setting for all new vhosts
- Maybe editing /etc/apache2/httpd.conf would do the trick?
