Hi @Samasoul,
As far as I know, mod_Rewrite is installed as an Apache module by default.
httpd -M|grep rewrite
rewrite_module (shared)
If you let me know the script you are trying to install I might be able to further assist you.

Hello, @Samasoul
Mod_Rewrite is compiled with Apache by default on cPanel. However, you can still double-check this with the command KFSyS provided already:
- httpd -M | grep rewrite
You can enable it for an account through the .htaccess file with:
- RewriteEngine On
Regards, Alex
