Is mod_rewrite (URL rewriting) available on your host?

@trustmaster:
A lot off people does not know how to find this...
so provide a way to get this info... (small php file)

On some hosts you can see by running a simple PHP script:
and looking for Apache - Loaded Modules.

But on some hosts there is no such section in phpinfo, although mod_rewrite is available and works fine. So I don't know an universal way... On many hosts you can find it on hoster's site or in Control Panel or eventually you can ask the support.

I used the phpinfo.
Is it this: url_rewriter.tags ??
mod_rewrite I can't find.

I did rewrite for the i18n plugin, so I guess it works.

For Apache: use phpinfo() and look for the apache2handler section. Among the Loaded Modules should be listed 'mod_rewrite'

For Windows IIS systems: there is no support for rewriting by default, but there are some commercial alternatives such as ISAPI_Rewrite and IIS Mod-Rewrite
