now use locate to find if the mod_rewrite.so is availble on your server
updatedb
locate mod_rewrite.so

new apache follow some folders to enable and disable mods.
so now do this:
cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled

now paste this following line
LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so
