MY Apache is on Centos 5.2

It is installed here:
/etc/httpd.

Modules are in:
/etc/httpd/modules

I searched a lot but I did not found how to install mod_rewrite.

I want to do url cleaning.

Can you help me please?

It should be already installed. Runto verify that is installed. Then you can use to load the module

Hi bathory,

root@tech [~]# httpd -M

and also the line 'LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewite.so' is not present in my '/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf' file.

Now how to enable or shall we need to install OS once again ? or where I can finf exact required file in my centos 5.2 (final).

I would really appreciate if somebody who can help me.

THank you

You don't need the "LoadModule rewrite_module ...", since it's statically compiled into apache. All you need isbefore writing the rewrite rules you want in httpd.conf.

Hey Bathory

I am really new to linux, kindly explain me little clear, as you mentioned above no need of "LoadModule rewrite_module ..." but we need "RewriteEngine on" let me know where the rewrite rule have to implement?

What I mean is that since the mod_rewrite is static (i.e. built-in), you don't need the "LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewite.so" directive in httpd.conf, so there is no need to concern because it's not present.
Now if you want to use mod_rewrite to rewrite URLs you need to enable the module. This is done with the "RewriteEngine on" directive.
After that you can start using the available rewrite rules to do want you want. I suggest you to start reading about mod_rewrite before trying to apply your rewrite rules. A good starting point is the Apache mod_rewrite documentation.

Regards
