I upgraded apache to 1.3.31 on Redhat linux 7.2 using following commands..
./configure --prefix=/path/to/apache --enable-module=so --enable-module=rewrite --enable-shared=rewritemake
make install
it worked fine..
it installed apache without any errors..
now in httpd.conf i added these 2 lines for the first time..
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.soAddModule mod_rewrite.c
(I did not find mod_rewrite.so in apache tar installation file so I copied file from old pre-installed version of apache [1.3.23] to libexec directory)
and restarted the apache..it worked without any errors...
it showed mod_rewrite module under Apache Modules option in Webmin
so after all these i removed that AddModule line from httpd.conf, i started with simple mod_rewrite rule...but it showed me page cannot be displayed error
here is what i had written in the rule (in .htaccess file)
Options +FollowSymLinksRewriteEngine on
RewriteRule id(.*)\.htm$ id.php?id=$1
i.e. id.php?id=5 --> id5.htm
I checked the same code by uploading it to the server online..and it worked fine...
Can any of these problems could be problem..
1. I used mod_rewrite.so from older version of apache, if that can be reason then how to get so file for latest version? (is it something like when i add mod_rewrite.c in httpd.conf it will automatically generated so file or something?)
2. there is no mod_rewrite.o file in the modules directory under apache_dir/src/modules/standard/, i found mod_rewrite.c and mod_rewrite.h there. (for other modules .o files were present with .c files)
3. I could not find mod_rewrite module under Re-Configure Known Modules in WebMin (other modules were present there)
any ideas about this problem?
