[Plugin: WP Super Cache] Mod rewrite may not be installed!

  • I contacted my hosting company and they told me that to turn on mod rewrite on my blog i just needed to add the line RewriteEngine On to my .htaccess file. I have doen that and then disabled and re-enabled the plugin and i still get that message at the top. If i enable super cache and then look at the source i see this

    <!– Dynamic page generated in 0.266 seconds. –>
    <!– Cached page generated by WP-Super-Cache on 2009-07-21 11:01:59 –>

    but it always looks like this then

    Cache Contents

    WP-Cache (24.60KB)

    * 1 Cached Pages
    * 0 Expired Pages

    WP-Super-Cache (0KB)

    * 0 Cached Pages
    * 0 Expired Pages

    Here is what i have in my .htaccess file

    # -FrontPage-

    IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

    <Limit GET POST>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • Check if they have “AllowOverride All” set for your web directory.

    where would i find that at?

    It would be in the apache config file, typically, httpd.conf. This is a system-wide config, not a user config. You may have to ask them to change it.

    I had a similar issue, but on a vanilla wordpress install because I actually hadn’t generated .htaccess yet. What worked for me is changing the permalink structure with pages added (but wp-cache off), changing the permalink structure back, then re-enabling wp-cache. It’s worth a try, since permalinks rely directly on mod_rewrite in order to work.
