the url requested was not found on this server

  • 772

I uploaded a script called phpmotion to my vps, see this when you go to pretty much any page you'll see this error

Not Found

The requested URL /xyz was not found on this server.

Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at showpill.com Port 80

the .htaccess that they provide is there, everything is uploaded and installed correctly. the support team says that mod_rewrite is not enabled, but I checked and it is it enabled.

they told me to register on their forum to ask about it, I tried but it says: registration is currently disabled. Therefore I'm asking here, what would cause this problem?

EDIT

@George Tasioulis

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

is not commented out, i changed AllowOverride to All created a .htaccess file as you said and still did not work

EDIT 2

the output of httpd -l

Compiled in modules:
  core.c
  prefork.c
  http_core.c
  mod_so.c

the output of apachectl configtest

Syntax OK
centos php apache-2.2

    How did you check that mod_rewrite is enabled for sure?

    I would say you try this: backup your current .htaccess file and create a new one with the following content:

    Options +FollowSymLinks
  Redirect /google.html http://www.google.com

    Now go an visit http://www.showpill.com/google.html and see if it redirects you to google.com If yes, then mod_rewrite works, if not check in your httpd.conf file that AllowOverride is set to All and restart Apache.

  2. created a .htaccess file as you said

    Was there an .htaccess included with the install? Did you upload it to the server? Some FTP clients ignore dot files by default.
