apache modules? rewrite mod

[phoztech]

guys I have looked high and low on the internet... and well i am at a loss.

I ma trying to install the apache rewrite module... and well the mod_rewrite.so file is never EVER created in the modules directoy.

I run the configure( with the write options the make and the make install....

then go look in the modules directoy and it is not there.... thus i cant even bother modding the conf file to point to a "so" file that aint there. its a freaking nightmare.

I have never experienced this .... and frankly i cant even find a good apache forum on the Net... if anyone knows the answers or knows where to find the answers please let me know.

this is driving me nuts

It is strange, it should all be installed automatically. Did you install via WHM/CPanel or via SSH?

What happens when you login via ssh and type;
locate mod_rewrite.so

The output should tell you where the file is installed.

Cheers,
Paz.

paz thanks for the reply...

it would never create the modules... the old modules in the old install directory where the only ones that were around... and you cant use those with a new install of php/apache.

the only way i found of correcting this issue was to reinstall CentOS(redhat enterprise). perplexing to say the least.
