    We need to allow Apache’s configuration to allow .htaccess overrides

    awk '/AllowOverride None/{c++;if(c==2){sub("AllowOverride None""AllowOverride All");c=0}}1' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf > /tmp/httpd.conf; mv -f /tmp/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

    Now we want to ensure that the Apache service boots after a Dedicated Server Reboot

    systemctl enable httpd 
systemctl restart httpd
