It's probably a bit redundant, because we can presume if someone has installed mod_rewrite then they've followed the install instructions, and preferably used apxs, which does this for them?
At least for the Debian folks (and possibly others who get a precompiled Apache), this won't necessarily be the case. Debian includes all the apache modules you'd normally want in their regular Apache package (actually apache-common, so it can be shared among both Apache and Apache-SSL), but doesn't enable all of them by default. And no, I'm not going to rebuild my Apache from source from scratch; I assume the Debian maintainer has far more of a clue than I about industrial-strength setups.
Same goes for the LoadModule directives - plus the mod_proxy one is completely redundant.
I thought I'd received an email (from Dave Cinege, perhaps? can't find it immediately in any case) that indicated it wasn't redundant. It may still be Debian-related, though.
Also a tip with the STX [P] rendering problem: format it as a pre, by doing something like this..
httpd.conf:: <--- note double colon
I've been using the :: syntax the whole time, actually. But look at the first RewriteRule now, and you'll see what I'm talking about. Bug in STX, perhaps? -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- renfro@tntech.edu
