Hey guys, Im pretty new to servers/VPS's etc and i seem to have a problem enabling mod_rewrite for use from .htaccess. My apache/php installation is pretty "Out the box"

Google didn't really help for a search…

Which distribution do you use?

If you use Debian/Ubuntu, you can enable mod_rewrite by the following command:
> a2enmod rewrite
After that you will need to restart apache like this:
> /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Apache didn't stop properly.

Try:
> /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

/etc/init.d/apache2 start

You need to be root, or use sudo, in order to start or stop such services.
