Apache error log: Invalid command ‘RewriteEngine’
After adding the “RewriteEngine on” on an .htaccess file, I got the following error in apache’s error.log:
.htaccess: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
To fix it, I’ve added the rewrite module to apache:
$ sudo a2enmod rewrite $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
