Clean uninstall of Apache 1.3.23

Remove uninstall Apace 1.3.23

[bhutz]

Hi,

I hope this doesn't appear to be a silly question but I can't remove a previous version of Apache 1.3.23.

I have tried add/remove programs but I get a dialog box saying the installer wants...

'Apache HTTP server 1.3.23.msi'

I have downloaded the old version (1.3.23.msi) from the old site and pointed the installer to this but it is having none of it :(
-------------------
I am able to upgrade to Apache 2 but unfortunately I am trying to follow this article [sitepoint.com...] about mod_rewrite but I get stuck at the point where I have to find "AddModule mod_rewrite.c" and edit it.

Is the mod_rewrite module missing from Apache 2.0.

bhutz,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]!

For your #2 question:
mod_rewrite is not an integral part of the "core" Apache server, so you may need to download it/compile it as a separate module. However, mod_rewrite does work with Apache 2.0.

Be aware that there may still be some issues with Apache 2, so don't use it in a production environment without investigation - I believe the problems relate to not functioning properly w/PHP, but I'm not sure.

OK thanks for you advice (and welcome :), i have downloaded the larger apache installation file and I noticed that this has a modules folder and somewhere in that is the module that I am after.

I'm not sure exactly how to compile the module but I will read the documentation later on today.

Hi,
I am trying to use apache 2.0.48 and mod_rewrite.

In my modules folder I can see the module I want...

mod_rewrite.so

But unfortunately when I try and uncomment (take away the # :) the following lines, from this article [webmasterworld.com...]

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
#AddModule mod_rewrite.c

BTW I also have mod_rewrite.c file from the source download version of Apache but I'm not sure what to do with it to be honest :(

I get an error, it appears the LoadModule line is ok but the AddModule line isn't.

Alternatively I would like to uninstall a previous version and obtain a v.1.3 release and see if AddModule commands work there, anyone know how I can do this?
