So I was fiddling around on my server the other day and deleted mod_rewrite from the mods-available folder instead of the mods-enabled folder.

Is there a place I can download the missing files in order to reinstall? I've tried google but all results are just for enabling mod_rewrite and writing rewrite rules.

Maybe I should try something like: sudo apt-install apache --reinstall??

Thanks. :)

that's why you should use a2enmod/a2dismod a2ensite/a2dissite in the future and always backup your /etc dir at least :) – shakalandy Apr 11 '11 at 14:46

aptitude reinstall apache2-mod_rewrite (or something like that, do apt-get search rewrite)

I don't believe mod_rewrite is a separate package, it should be a part of the core apache install package. – rfelsburg Apr 11 '11 at 14:39
You are right, my mistake. It's part of apache2 – Jure1873 Apr 11 '11 at 14:40

sudo apt-install apache --reinstall

should work, make sure you back up your existing configuration files, and directories.
