You just have to add below line in https.conf file :

AccessFileName [filename]

Now example :

AccessFileName .configuration

After adding this line to your https.conf your site will use .configuration file instead of .htaccess.

;LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

to (to remove comment remove semi column from left side)

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Also we need to change the AllowOverride directive also from

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Satisfy all
</Directory>

to

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Satisfy all
</Directory>


So now you know how can we enable .htaccess or mod_rewrite on apache server.

If you want to use php5 version for a particular application and on server php4 and php5 both are available and php4 is by default , So to use php5 for that application follow these rules :
For e.g. our site application is in http://example.com/php5/ right now it is using php4 but you want to use php5 for this then,

1.  Make one .htaccess file in http://example.com/php5/ if not exists.

2.  Now put one line given below in .htaccess file.

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .php5 .php4 .php3
Or
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

You can try both one by one in case if any one is not working.

Now check your application site, It will use php5 version. Only this application will use php5 because we put htaccess which have php5 rule in this folder.

Below is the rule of .htaccess by which you can remove index.php from URL means if anyone enters http://example.com/index.php it redirects to http://example.com/.

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9} /([^/]+/)*index.php HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index.php$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/ [R=301,NS,L]

Above are the two rules by which you can redirect index.php to root directory. If you have any problems in these rules then you can contact me or post it into comments.

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

Upload this file to server and check this file in browser. When you open this file in browser you will see so many configuration settings in that file so just try to find out “mod_rewrite” (without quotes) in that file. If you find that string then your server haveing URL rewriting enabled but if you don’t find that string then your server not having URL rewriting enabled. To enabled URL rewriting you have to mail to your hosting or some hosting provide URL rewriting enable/disable option in cPanel->Settings.

Non WWW to WWW Redirect

Now we suppose that URL rewriting is enable on server and we want our all urls redirected from non www to www. Now make one file .htaccess (If not exists on server) and put code shown below :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourwebsite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourwebsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

After putting this code in .htaccess upload it to root folder of your server. Please don’t forget to put your website/your domain name instead of yourwebsite.com in that code.

WWW to Non WWW Redirect

To redirect from www to non www urls you must put down code shown below :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yourwebsite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yourwebsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

Again please don’t forget to put your website/your domain name instead of yourwebsite.com in code.

By this way you can redirect your site urls from www to non www or non www to www. For more information on URL canonicalization read Matt Cutts url canonicalization article.
