[users@httpd] Problems Adding Directives to the httpd.conf file

["Kaplan, Andrew H." <AHKAPLAN@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there --

I want to disable the TRACE and TRACK methods on our Apache 1.3.31 server with
the mod_ssl 2.8.18 module. We have one virtual host
section which automatically redirects connections to the server from port 80 to
port 443. I initially added the following lines to both the port
80 and 443 sections:

			RewriteEngine on
			RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK)
			RewriteRule .* - [F]

However when I stopped and then restarted the server, the error message I
received indicated a syntax error for the first line containing 
RewriteEngine or the command was not defined. 

Any ideas? Thanks.
