How to find out if mod_rewrite is supported?

I have no Idea if my hoster has installed mod_rewrite on the used apache web server, is there any way to find that out or to test if it works? Or is the only possibility to ask my hoster?

Create a .htaccess containing the following and upload it to the root of your site:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^google.html$ http://www.google.com/ [R=301]

Going to http://www.yoursite.com/google.html should redirect you to Google.com.

Heh, it works, IonCube is also installed, seems I'm ready for vBSEO, now I can think about it

What version of ionCube is loaded? Make sure it's the latest if it's being loaded via PHP.INI. (If an older version of ionCube is being loaded in PHP.INI, uploading a new version of the loaders under your forums directory will not override the older ones. If you don't have access to your PHP.INI, then you may have to ask your host to update.)

The test script doesn't currently test the version of ionCube, which is why I ask.

I have no idea, is there a way to find that out?

Anyway, why can't I edit my own post until I reload the site once?
