How do I enable Url Rewriting (mod_rewrite) in my HestiaCP. Thanks in advance
It is enabled in mine but I may have done it manually
ls -1 /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ | grep rewrite
rewrite.load
to activate module rewrite in debian based OS use the a2enmod command
sudo a2enmod rewrite
then
sudo systemctl restart apache2
read about it here
running this : “sudo a2enmod rewrite” shows already enabled.
this also shows shared:
What am i missing?
Did you add the .htaccess file to your document root with the rewrite rules required by your web app?

I don’t know whether you need above section.
Show the output of these commands (replace YourUser and YourDomain with the actual data).
cat /home/YourUser/conf/web/YourDomain/apache2.conf
cat /home/YourUser/conf/web/YourDomain/apache2.ssl.conf
All looks good, also, I checked your site and seems rewrite is working.
server_info.php - Google Drive it shows off
You should ask to FatBit how they check that url rewriting is enabled because it is in your web site.
@Thanks. But do i have to include this in the apache2 conf file or all is ok?
<Directory /var/www/>
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
You don’t need to add that conf, the conf you have is ok.
This is what was use it to check the options
My php knowdledge is zero, so I can’t help to review that file.
@sahsanu You have done enough sir 
Im grateful
Thank you.

So, you shouldn’t be worried, url rewritting works.
