Under linux you can commonly find those modules under /etc/apache2/mods-available
So, under shell, you would need to: > cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
> sudo ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load
then restart the server: > apache2ctl restart
or if apache2ctl isn't available do a: > ps aux|grep apache
or > ps aux|grep httpd
