Ah, that's the n00b in me coming through. I didn't connect "DSO" with *.so One last question then (the reason I'm even compiling apache in the first place): I have an existing production server that does not have mod_rewrite either as an .so or within the list of "httpd -l" . Is it a very stupid idea to download the particular version of Apache I'm currently running, compile mod_rewrite as a shared module, put it in my existing modules directory, and start using it? That is... I would compile my apache to /usr/local/notapache2 and I'd just move /usr/local/notapache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so to /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so I realize I should probably just take the opportunity to upgrade, but I'm just wary of making changes. > -----Original Message----- > From: jslive@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:jslive@xxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > Joshua Slive > Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 1:30 PM > To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Unable to compile mod_rewrite > > On 9/7/07, gb1071nx <gb1071nx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Leaving aside arguments regarding desirability, how do I make it so > > that mod_rewrite becomes an .so file in the modules > directory?
