If you’re using mod_php, you can use apache_get_modules()
. This will return an array of all enabled modules, so to check if mod_rewrite
is enabled, you could simply do
in_array('mod_rewrite', apache_get_modules());
Unfortunately, you’re most likely trying to do this with CGI, which makes it a little bit more difficult.
You can test it using the following, though
strpos(shell_exec('/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl -l'), 'mod_rewrite') !== false
If the above condition evaluates to true
, then mod_write
is enabled.
