Read the error more carefully: Invalid command 'LoadModule' It's not complaining about missing modules, it's complaining about the Apache directive itself "LoadModule", and now I see why...

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!
