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.

Subject: old solaris box (but heavily used)
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!

These are my notes so far......
---------------Solaris uses libexec, not modules directory-----------------
% grep ^LoadModule /etc/apache2/httpd.conf-example | grep rewrite
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.so
---------to load modules----apache extension tool----------------
mktpricing:/usr % find apache* -name apxs
apache/bin/apxs
apache2/bin/apxs
--------my setup--------------------
mktpricing:/etc/apache % uname -a
