Following the tutorial “How To Set Up Mod_Rewrite” indicates I should run the command “sudo a2enmod rewrite”, but I mark: sudo: a2enmod: command not found

Using .htaccess files and setting AllowOverride All is not recommended. It’s better to put the rewrite commands in your Directory section in httpd.conf. To enable the rewrite engine in this context, you need to set “RewriteEngine On” and “Options FollowSymLinks” must be enabled. (From: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule) <br> <br>This is what did it for me

I am totally new at this and I am trying to fix it based on the fact that wordpress is telling me page not found errors (saw on a forum that my mod_rewrite must be off) So I started following this directions: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-mod_rewrite but it gave me this message

3 packages can be updated. 3 updates are security updates.

Dunno what to do now.

Hi there, it seems no way to enable it on CentOS, see this for more information:http://serverfault.com/questions/558600/centos-bash-a2enmod-command-not-found
