Not all servers are always equipped with apache mod_rewrite, although it's a standard in web hosting servers. Mod_rewrite is one of apache modules in charge of doing URL rewriting, and this must included in Apache server configuration. You can check your server, are they have apache mod-rewrite enabled or not. There are to method you can use to check the mod_rewrite.

Checking from within Joomla:

In the backend, go to System menu, then to System Information. There are several tabs, go to PHP tab and run a search for a word 'rewrite'. If you don't find anything about 'rewrite', then mod_rewrite is not loaded and URL rewriting not work. Go check your httpd.conf file, or contact your system administrator or your hosting company to make this mod_rewrite enabled for you.

Checking from outside of Joomla:

Go to your web site root folder, you can use your favorite FTP client or cPanel File Manager. Locate existing .htaccess file. If you find one, open it in editor, otherwise, create a new file named .htaccess. At the top of this file, write the following codes:

redirect /google http://www.google.com

Save the file, and then go to your favourite browser and type domain.com/google, replace domain.com with your own domain name. You should be redirected to www.google.com, otherwise your mod_rewrite is not working. Go check your httpd.conf file, or contact your system administrator or your hosting company to make this mod_rewrite enabled for you.
