   * Install mod_rewrite support for apache.
-  * Create test script. Test ''.htaccess'' content:<code bash>
+    * 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>
