Is mod_rewrite active by default?

I have Yourls installed in my website, but it won’t open when I access my website. 
Instead of showing my Yourls home page, it shows my website files (Directory Listing) every time I accessed it (http://felu.ga). 
Then I checked the .htaccess file in htdocs, it consisted this: 

`# BEGIN YOURLS



RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^.*$ /yourls-loader.php [L]




END YOURLS`


<br>The .htaccess in htdocs directory that suppose to override the rules of .htaccess in the root, but it doesn't work. So I add additional lines to the .htaccess in htdocs:<br>



`# BEGIN YOURLS



RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^.*$ /yourls-loader.php [L]




END YOURLS


BEGIN INDEX-FIX


Options -Indexes

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html


END INDEX-FIX`


<br>But instead of showing my Yourls website homepage, it redirects me to 403 error page.&nbsp;<br>Note: Yourls doesnt have index file by default, I tried to rename file yourls-loader.php to index.php but it's still not working.<br><br>I think this is happen because mod_rewrite isn't enabled, but I'm not sure<br>How can I solve this?<br>

mod_rewrite is enabled by default, you can check it with php_info
