The following article helped me with this: http://forum.ivorde.ro/apache-2-2-installation-of-mod-rewrite-module-without-recompiling-whole-apache-t67.html Essentially, I located mod_rewrite.c and ran the following command: apxs -c -i mod_rewrite.c mod_rewrite.so is created. Then, I added the following line to httpd.conf file LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so Then, I ran the following command to check if the configuration was fine: apachectl configtest Syntax OK Finally, I restarted Apache. That's it. Thanks, Joe On Sat, May 29, 2010 at 12:59 PM, Joe Hansen <joe.hansen.at@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hey All, > > I've installed Apache 2.2.14 on our Redhat Enterprise Linux ES 5.0 > box.
