Re: old solaris box (but heavily used)

[Yehuda Katz <yehuda@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Your original email said you were using HTTPD 2.0.63. Your last email says you are using HTTPD 1.3.37.

In 1.3 you needed to have mod_so loaded in order to use LoadModule which would require recompiling since you don't already have it.

It should be similar to the grep example you had earlier, so:
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.so

Thanks for continued help!

Do I add this or this?
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.so



----------------mod_rewrite.so exists in both places already-----------------------

mktpricing:/usr % find -L apach* -name mod_rewrite.so | xargs ls -lrt

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!
