How to enable Apache mod_rewrite in openSUSE

I got a situation where my Apache mod_rewrite module was not enabled for my openSUSE machine.
Here is the simple way to do it.

First check which apache modules are enabled in your machine.

ankur@ankur:/srv/www/htdocs> grep "^APACHE_MODULES" /etc/sysconfig/apache2
APACHE_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_file authz_host authz_groupfile authz_default authz_user autoindex cgi dir env expires include log_config mime negotiation setenvif ssl userdir php5"

Second Change the apache2 config for modules and restart your apache.

ankur@ankur:/srv/www/htdocs> sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/apache2
ankur@ankur:/srv/www/htdocs> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Syntax OK
Shutting down httpd2 (waiting for all children to terminate) done
Starting httpd2 (prefork) done

Finally, chech you module is installed.

ankur@ankur:/srv/www/htdocs> grep "^APACHE_MODULES" /etc/sysconfig/apache2
APACHE_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_file authz_host authz_groupfile authz_default authz_user autoindex cgi dir env expires include log_config mime negotiation setenvif ssl userdir php5 rewrite"

huh!! Its working.

Happy Apache.
