I have just installed apache 1.3.26 but noticed they is no rewrite mod or suexec. How do I add rewrite mod and suexec?

I tried recompile apache by running

./configure
--enable-module=rewrite
make
make install

I then issue ./httpd -l from apache's bin directory and this show that mod_rewrite is loaded but when I check httpd.conf or httpd.conf.default I can'n see any rewrite mod

can you help?

if you used the --enable-module option to 'configure', then you will not see a LoadModule line in the httpd.conf file. You will only see that when you compile (and use) a module as a DSO -- and most of the time you need to add it yourself.

As long se you see mod_rewrite.c in the output of `httpd -l`, you can use mod_rewrite in your config. You may want to use <IfModule mod_rewrite.c></IfModule> so that the config will work whether or not the module is installed.

As for suexec, it's a bit more complicated. 'suexec' is VERY picky and NEEDS to have its criteria satsified in order to run. I'll suggest that you read Apache Group's suexec documentation before even attempting to start.

There are a number of ways in which you can go about setting this up. I could go into detail, but I fear that it would become rather mundane.
