Does mod_rewrite come compiled in httpd in the fedora distribution.
Yes.
Then how come I can not fined it. It does not show up in the httpd.conf file as a module and it is not listed as being compiled into http when I run httpd -l. What am I missing?
AFAIK the module should be in "/usr/lib/httpd/modules". You should also the following in your httpd.conf file:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Then use .htaccess files for your rewrite rules, eg:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
ReWriteRule ^main/([A-Z0-9a-z_]*) /index.php?file=$1.xml [L]That's how I have it working on my machine anyway. Let us know if you getting it working ;)
