Why mod_rewrite doesn't work on Apache 2.2.6?

Hi all
Can somebody tell me, what is the differences between Apache 1.3 family vs. 2.0 family? I need Apache uses mod_rewrite, basic authentication via browser, also supports PHP 5+. I run the following command for both version 2.2.6 and 1.3.39, but mod_rewrite only actives in 1.3.39. Why I can't enable it for 2.2.6?

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=so --enable-module=rewrite --enable-module=proxy --enable-shared=rewrite

What must I do for using mod_rewrite in 2.2.6, too?

 

its a question of basic default configuration that differs between apache 1.3 and 2.x
a year ago i had many days the same problems and it drove me nuts.

here what i changed to finally solve the problem during upgrade apache 1.3 to 2.2 - may be it helps you.

 

Hi,

You can download apache module from apache website . You must download both module version. Then try to write an example module in both version and try to execute it. So, you can understand that apache using diffent structure in different versions. If you would like to work both these version, please add a code in your mod_...... . c file.

if(version1)
{
//here write code for version1
}
else
{
// here write code for version2
}


There is a structure request_rec etc created in some header files like httpd.h in include directory. In both version, the variable names are different. Please study it, so you will understand how to seperate it. Then write a code in this style.

For each and every problem, there will be a solution. Right?

Nothing is impossible and Impossible says I M Possible...

Study again and do yourself. All the Best....

and if you have done all above
and still got problems
then make sure you have done on your remote shell a

rcapache2 configtest
rcapache2 extreme-configtest

if you have a dist that uses OTHER tests - search G for their names

 

This is very simple. If you are checking it from a remote computers you should check
the version, user agents etc. Its very easy to do code in C.

main()
{
......
agent=check_useragent();
....
....
}

char *check_useragent(void)
{
....
return response;
...
}

Then Mr.Hans, tell me if you have any more problem. I am from development team
