Hey guys, I'm trying to enable mod_rewrite and I'm getting some shit. I put the following in httpd.conf:

AddModule mod_rewrite.c
LoadModule mod_rewrite /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so

I also used the terminal to enable mod_rewrite with the command: a2enmod rewrite

It prompted me to restart apache so I did. Then I get the error:

apache2: Syntax error on line 207 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Can't locate API module structure `mod_rewrite' in file /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so: undefined symbol: mod_rewrite

Meanwhile, back at the ranch: I try to load any page on my site and get a 500 internal service error. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

It sounds like you don't actually have mod_rewrite installed on your system. What happens when you remove those lines from your httpd.conf?

If you don't do the things you did to your conf file, on ubuntu with apache2 installed from the repos, you should just be able to do

a2enmod rewrite

What this actually does is (pretty much)

sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load

So check your mods-enabled folder to make sure that rewrite.load is there, and has stuff in it.

I either solved the problem or it decided to work it out itself. I found that:

LoadModule mod_rewrite /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so

Was actually already contained in the rewrite.load file, so I took it out of httpd.conf, and everything seems to work beautifully. Thanks for the help guys.
