I'm setting up an environment for wordpress on apache2, on a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04.

In order to get friendly URLS working, I'm trying to set up mod_rewrite. I followed some instructions I found on the net, and used a2enmod.

Now. after restarting apache, I'd like to check if the module is actually loaded.

The command that I've found for getting a list of loaded modules is this:

apache2 -t -D DUMP_MODULES

However, this returns an error:

apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}

So, how do I actually list all loaded modules, or otherwise check to see if mod_rewrite has been enabled?
