Created .htaccess but for some reason it didn't work. maybe it needs to be turned on somewhere or something?

Question

htaccess

In general, there is Apache 2 on raspberries.
In general, there is a site, it works fine.
I want to redirect from 404 to home page. does not work. just music fund opens.
I wrote to redirect from test.html to ya.ru. does not work.
So I thought maybe .htaccess where you need to enable it? Or some other reason?
So I thought maybe smart people will tell you where to look to understand why it does not work?

Answer 1

There is Apache for Windows, and you need to enable the mod_rewrite module in it. Look for something on this.

Answer 2

Yes, you need to enable RewriteEngine On
if it is, then the rewrite mode
from the console does not work for you.
If it is disabled, then go to the hosting control panel and enable mod_rewrite
Also, if you have nginx without Apache, then .htaccess will not work in it.
