I realise this has come up again and again in this forum, but I am still no closer to a solution.
I have a new minimal install of Centos7 and Virtualmin, only things added are:
wget, nano, tmpwatch, open-vm-tool
Everything else was done by the install script, everything app wise seems fine so far all in the green.
Im installing a Joomla site, have various install errors until I deleted the .htaccess file then all seems to work until I tried to browse a menu item or another internal link, I had this issue many times with Centos 7, just enabling or sometimes reinstalling the mod_rewrite module solved this.
On echecking /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-base.conf, for LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so it is there!!

When checking by Website Options>PHP Information this model is not listed, which would backup my tests/findings.
Makes sense this is a virtual system, so how can I activate/install for all versions of PHP for all sites the mod_rewrite module.
so can I assume that somehow Virtualmin handles this natively?
