    I am using PHPBB3 forum on my site. TO make it search engine friendly i wana install SEO Mod downloaded from www.phpbb-seo.com. This mod requires running Apache Server with mod_Rewrite module loaded, or IIS server running isapi_rewrite. How can i find out is this mod is loaded on my hosting server?

    The most straightforward way is to ask you hosting provider if they support the module.

    Alternatively, you can drop a ".htaccess" file (note ".htaccess" is the entire filename, not just the extension) that has this simple rule:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^test_forbidden$ - [F]

    Then when you request the url http://yoursite.com/test_forbidden you should get a 403 http status code. If you get anything else but a 403, then the module is probably not loaded/available.
