How do you enable mod_rewrite on any OS?

by

Nope, mod_rewrite is an Apache module and has nothing to do with PHP.

To activate the module, the following line in httpd.conf needs to be active:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

to see whether it is already active, try putting a .htaccess file into a web directory containing the line

RewriteEngine on

if this works without throwing a 500 internal server error, and the .htaccess file gets parsed, URL rewriting works.
