 === Apache mod_rewrite Setup ===
   * Install mod_rewrite support for apache.
-  * Create test script.
+    * Enable it: <code bash>% sudo a2enmod rewrite</code> or <code bash>% cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
+% ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load rewrite.load</code>
+    * Enable AllowOverride for apache: Edit file ''/etc/apache2/sites-available/default'' (or whatever the virtual site is using) and set it to ''AllowOverride All''. Eg:<code bash><Directory /var/www/>
+    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
+    #AllowOverride None
+    AllowOverride All
+    Order allow,deny
+    allow from all
+    # Uncomment this directive is you want to see apache2's
+    # default start page (in /apache2-default) when you go to /
+    #RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
+</Directory></code>
+    * Restart apache: <code bash>% /etc/init.d/apache2 restart</code>
+  * Create test script. Sample test ''.htaccess'' file:<code bash>
+RewriteEngine On
+Options +FollowSymLinks
+RewriteRule ^joomla\.html http://www.joomla.org/? [R=301,L]
+RewriteRule ^link([^/]*).html$ rewrite.php?link=$1 [L]
+</code>Test script ''rewrite.php'' (open in browser, and test links being displayed):<code php>
+<html>
+<body>
+<h2>
+<?php
+if($_GET['link']==1)
+{
+  echo"You are NOT using mod_rewrite";
+}
+elseif($_GET['link']==2)
+{
+  echo"Congratulations!! You are using Apache mod_rewrite";
+}
+else
+{
+  echo"Apache mod_rewrite Test Tutorial";
+}
+?>
+</h2>
+<p><a href="rewrite.php?link=1">LINK1</a> = rewrite.php?link=1</p>
+<p><a href="link2.html">LINK2</a> = link2.html</p>
+<p>How this works: both links are for this same page, but each calls the page differently:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Link1 is without the mod_rewrite. It shows the php file.</li>
+<li>Link2 is using mod_rewrite. </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+With mod_rewrite, we are mascarading the php file into an html file. Any extension can be used (eg: .htm, .shtml etc.). Make sure it is reflected in the .htaccess file</p>
