How to enable mod_rewrite via .htaccess?

Question

I'm going to enable mod_rewrite (modsecurity ) in Cpanel and here is my htaccess, please advice me how to enable it.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|public|assets|uploads|themes|install|updates|asset|mob|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]
<FilesMatch "\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|swf|css)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public"
</FilesMatch>

Thanks in advance

Solution

As per your provided .HTACCESS code, mod_rewrite is already enabled..

RewriteEngine on

While Mod_security can not be enabled/disabled from cPanel end. If you have access to server OR WHM panel then you can do it and make sure you have compiled APACHE to enabl mod_security, otherwise contact your hosting provider to do it for you.

You can find APACHE compile for mod_security details from here...
