Testing whether Apache mod_rewrite is enabled

- [Voiceover] This is the example site…I'll be working with throughout this course.…It's not a complete site…and you won't be able to load it in your browser…until you set up the database later in this chapter.…Only the search form at the top right here…and the first three links in the navigation bar,…Arrangements, Fresh Flowers, and Care for Orchids, work.…But it's fairly typical of a database driven PHP site.…The URL in the browser address bar ends with the name…of the file including the PHP file name extension.…

So this is arrangements.php.…If I scroll down and click one of these images…it loads details.php with a query string on the end…indicating the arrangement id and its number.…And if I do a search, say for roses,…it loads results.php and again,…there is a query string on the end of the URL…with the search term.…URLs like this look quite ugly.…And they're difficult to remember.…

It would be so much nicer with a clean address,…like search/roses.…To create clean URLs on an Apache server…the mod_rewrite module needs to be enabled.…
