Arrow [How to] Check if mod_rewrite is working for my site

If you suspect mod_rewrite may not be working on your site, one simple method to verify is to setup a single redirect to test it.

Add the following line to the top of your .htaccess file:

Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule testpage\.html http://www.google.com [R]
Then re-upload it to your server.

Once the .htaccess file has been updated, enter the following into your browser:

Code:
http://www.yoursite.com/testpage.html
This should automatically redirect you to Google.

If this works, then mod_rewrite IS working on your server.

If this does NOT work, then mod_rewrite is either disabled or setup incorrect. Contact the vBSEO Total Support Team via a the ticketing system:
