Notify the user if mod_rewrite is disabled and provide a guide to get chive up and running or provide a fallback-mode whitout mod_rewrite
Mod_Rewrite is is not enabled by default on a lot of servers. At the moment there is no useful information and the user does not know what to do because he only sees an http error page.
Two possibilities:
1) Show an error-page with information about how to enable mod_rewrite in order to get chive up and running.
or
2) Implement a fallback-mode without mod_rewrite.
I would recommend the second approach.
