The documentation is outdated. AddModule is no longer used in Apache 2.x.

If you have access to apache's conf, you can disable htaccess
(AllowOverride None) for a little boost in speed by putting the
rewrite config in there. If you have separate virtual host configs for
your site(s) put this in the appropriate file instead.
<Directory "/path/to/your/app/webroot">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
</Directory>
With this config, all requests will be forwarded to webroot/index.php,
unless it's for an existing file or directory inside webroot (eg. your
css, js, or something else you include in there).
