Centos 7 Apache mod_rewrite not showing to be loaded.

newbie14 · 02-22-2018, 05:45 AM

I have centos machine. Thus I go into the into this folder /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d and saw the 00-base.conf. I saw this line
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so not commented. Thus I assume its part of loaded module.

But when I ran this command LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
not results seems to be showing.
In the main httpd.conf I saw this line is also not commented
IncludeOptional conf.d/*.conf.

What else could be the reason this module is not loading?

There is no such command. The whole "LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so" is supposed to be into the apache config files.

To verify is the module is loaded, you can run:

Code:

/usr/sbin/httpd -M|grep rewrite

Hi Bathory.
I got this based on your suggested command. I guess this means is loaded right ?

Quote:

/usr/sbin/httpd -M|grep rewrite

Have you tried editing the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file? make sure that the AllowOverride flag for the <Directory "/var/www/html"> block is changed from None to All?

Yes. It's loaded.
If you want to get rid of the warning about the "fully qualified domain name", just assign one in the ServerName directive

>> As suggested by bathory you can try adding ServerName directive and Restart apache.

I dont have a registered name is that ok? Is just an ip based only ? What name can I give it ?

newbie14 · 02-22-2018, 07:47 AM

Hi Bathory.
Where is the correct place to add this name and how it will effect ? So in future when I have proper domain name where will that be assigned?

This is just a warning, not an error, so apache will start without problems.
If you don't want to see that again, add in main httpd.conf something like:

Code:

ServerName localhost.localdomain

In the future you can replace localhost.localdomain above with the actual hostname you've registered

Since Apache has many (heh ...) modules, many of them are separately packaged. (PHP has been done the same way ... it's not "one gigantic executable" anymore.)

On Ubuntu, for instance, try: apt-cache search apache.

Distros also have a certain way of enabling or disabling Apache modules. On Ubuntu, check out commands like: a2dismod / a2enmod. These things are documented ...

... so, read the directions for your distro very carefully.
