mod rewrite is not installed! Apache 2.x

Module mod_rewrite is not installed although it's in the configuraton line

[ticoroman]

Hello!

I have:
CentOS 4.4 x64 (64-bit system!)
httpd-2.2.3 unix source

Trying to do:
Compile Apache, with mod_rewrite (absolutely needed).

Configuration line:
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-so --enable-cgi --enable-info --enable-rewrite --enable-speling --enable-usertrack --enable-deflate --enable-ssl --enable-mime-magic --enable-modules=mod_rewrite

Problem:
mod_rewrite is not installed!

# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl -l
Compiled in modules:
core.c
mod_authn_file.c
mod_authn_default.c
mod_authz_host.c
mod_authz_groupfile.c
mod_authz_user.c
mod_authz_default.c
mod_auth_basic.c
mod_include.c
mod_filter.c
mod_log_config.c
mod_env.c
mod_setenvif.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_mime.c
mod_status.c
mod_autoindex.c
mod_asis.c
mod_cgi.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_dir.c
mod_actions.c
mod_userdir.c
mod_alias.c
mod_so.c

I am not seeing any error messages, but mod_rewrite is not installed, and can't (of course) be used. I have tried with 2.0.59 as well. Even when I try with --enable-modules=all mod_rewrite is not installed. Does anyone know anything about this problem and how it can be fixed?

I would surely appreciate any help! Thank you.

Wow, that's a tricky one.

Have you read through some of the generated configuration files that come from "configure"

config.log
config.status

and grep around for "rewrite"

Might help debug your problem.

config.log

configure:19617: checking whether to enable mod_rewrite

Similar lines also in config.status. Interesting. I'm a newbie in this, but the piece of s... (which I need so bad) should be installed!

I guess I should give up, and install one of the precompiled RPMs or something(even though I then get a little garbage I do not need....).

mod_rewrite should be in the precompiled versions by default?

[equalm]

I probably should look this up, but try not including the "--enable-modules=(all¦most¦etc)" directive in your configure command.

that might be overriding what you're already providing. I should RTFM, but oh well.

this advice is worth the price you're paying. =)

It didn't help, but thanks anyway. Keep on guessing. Soon we will hunt it down... :)

There is no mod_rewrite anywhere. I installed the RPM (following) with CentOS but that piece of sh.. obly have the absolutely necessary installed, and of course not mod_rewrite!

So what I got here is a non-funcional server I need to migrate one website to. I'm paying double bills (old server) until I got this to work, and besides that the old one is hardly managing the load...

Is there anywhere some other RPMs (that might be suitable for CentOS) that have mod_rewrite enabled (for x64!)? I'm giving up the fight compiling it myself....
