[webmin-l] 'Mod Rewrite' in Apache & Webmin

[Arshad K. <ars...@ch...>]

Hello all,

 

I posted a note on this topic earlier but didn't get any responses; I am
hoping to get some help from the Webmin community this time around.

 

I wish to enable mod_rewrite in Apache/Webmin so we can use to use it in
.htaccess file for URL rewriting. 

 

Servers>Apache>Re-Configure Known Modules page does list Mod_rewrite as an
available module. I then had a look at the httpd.conf file and found the
following entry:

 

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

 

So it appears that Apache is loading this module, why is it not showing on
Servers>Apache>Re-Configure Known Modules page?

 

I also found the following entry in the httpd.conf file, does this statement
nullifies the loading of mod_rewrite?

 

# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being 

# viewed by Web clients. 

#

<Files ~ "^\.ht">

    Order allow,deny

    Deny from all

</Files>

 

I use Apache 2.052 on a CentOS 4.4 machine. 

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Regards,

Arshad
