apache vhost configuration triggers an error

[IuliiSe]

Apache does not restart after setting up the apache vhost by following the example configuration as seen in docs/apache.conf.example apache2[29815]: AH00526: Syntax error on line 15 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/apache.conf: apache2[29815]: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration apache2[29815]: Action 'configtest' failed.

@IuliiSe could you show the contents of that file? Could you also show the operating system and apache version being used?

@IuliiSe great! What was the issue?

Needed to activate mod_rewrite

sudo a2enmod rewrite

That would do it ;) glad it's resolved!
