[SOLVED] "URL rewriting (mod_rewrite) is not active on your server." using CGI/FastCGI

[puecher]

URL rewriting (mod_rewrite) is not active on your server. If you want to use Friendly URLs you must activate this mod.

Hi, PS (Tools::apacheModExists) checks if PHP has enabled mod_rewrite. If you run PHP in CGI/FastCGI mode, PS does not detect it.

 

If you are sure that mod_rewrite works, you can override Tools::apacheModExists:

 

class Tools extends ToolsCore
{
 public static function apacheModExists($name)
 {
return true;
 }
}

 

Cheers,

Patrick

Where are these files located? I've run into this error but I'm completely lost with your explanation. Where do I find all these things?

[vynx]

if i'm not wrong in the : Classes/Tools.php file.

it's better to put it into the

override/classes/tools.php

this way it doesn't get overwritten during an update

Hi jesen, do not forget to add <?php

 public static function apacheModExists($name)
 {
       return true;
 }
}

?>

[ibe]

Thank you.

 

Do not write/copy the closing:

[Never_give_up]

Go to file /override/classes/tools.php

 

replace:

<?php
class Tools extends ToolsCore
{
}

 

with this:

<?php
class Tools extends ToolsCore
{
 public static function apacheModExists($name)
 {
    return true;
 }
}

 

go back to admin, select SEO & URLs from preferences, click on the save button.

 

Finish

[Swickaar]

Go to file /override/classes/tools.php

 

replace:

<?php
class Tools extends ToolsCore
{
}

 

with this:

<?php
class Tools extends ToolsCore
{
 public static function apacheModExists($name)
 {
	return true;
 }
}

 

go back to admin, select SEO & URLs from preferences, click on the save button.

 

Finish

 

Unable to find this in the told file. Please help. This issue is still not resolved in my PS1.5.4.1

[vekia]

you have to create override, create this file with code that Never_give_up suggested

[generalexperts]

I searched for the file tools.php and I do not have one. So I created a php file with the code given above. I put it into override/classes/tools.php and it did not work. I actually have two paths for override/classes/ so I added it in both. This still doesn't work and I still get the "URL rewriting (mod_rewrite) is not active on your server, or it is not possible to check your server configuration. If you want to use Friendly URLs, you must activate this mod." message next to the Friendly URL in my prestashop 1.5.

 

Okay, I got this message to go away, by refreshing my File Manager. But then all the images turned to "?."

 

To fix "?" images, check out other posts on that topic.

I did it and does not Work! I Still get the message:

Reescrita de URL (mod_rewrite) não está ativo no seu servidor, ou não é possível verificar a configuração do servidor. Se você quiser usar URLs amigáveis ​​você deve ativar este mod

 

My language is BR.

[steve_s741]

Never_give_up, I looked for a "tools.php" file in the /override/classes folder and couldn't find one, so I tried creating one with just your code in it and it makes no difference. I also tried renaming "tools.php" to "Tools.php" to match the name of the file I found in the /classes folder, but this didn't help.

 

Out of curiosity, I modified /classes/tools.php to add your code, but that just breaks the back end altogether.

 

Any other ideas? This whole "friendly URL" issue seems to be a huge pain for all!

Hi,

I am new to PrestaShop and currently using PrestaShop version: 1.5.4.1. Instead of apacheModExists I have overridden with modRewriteActive(). It works fine for me. Let us know whether it will affect other functionality in PrestaShop

<?php

class Tools extends ToolsCore
{
public static function  modRewriteActive()
{
return true;
}
}

?>
