Do you need to enclose your rewrite rules with the following?
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Rewrite rules here.
</IfModule>
Assuming mod_rewrite wasn’t turned on, the rules won’t be executed anyway, no?
If mod_rewrite wasn’t turned on, the rules would generate an error upon starting.
Whenever there’s reason NOT to be sure a module is loaded (“generic” .htaccess used on multiple servers for example), the IfModule tags are useful. If you’re sure the module is loaded, there’s no need for the tags.
