James: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect mod_alias for Redirect or RedirectMatch And since you have dynamic loading of modules enabled, yes, you can "turn on" the alias module without the need of re-compiling Apache from scratch.

Hi, My boss wants us to provide a redirect page for use during site-maintanance. I assume this means I need to add mod_rewrite. Q:Can I add mod_rewrite to my server without re-compiling? Thanks for any leads. I really appreciate it. I usually tip if that is an option. I insist!
