apache

[Ashley]

I am trying to enable mod rewrite in apache.

1. Found the httpd.conf file
2. Inside the httpd.conf file uncomment the line LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
3. Also found the line ClearModuleList is uncommented then find and make sure that the line AddModule mod_rewrite.c is not commented out.

Then restarted Apache and got this.

This is what happens when you attempt to restart apache with that line uncommented.

Syntax error on line 5 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_placeholder.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_placeholder.so: cannot open shared object file:

I have commented it out and restarted for the moment. Anyone have any thoughts.

Permissions error? Why can't it load that file?

We got it working in the end it was hard work and not fun.

Might be worth looking at the group/owner of the file.
If you're pretty sure of your own security, you could try giving it full permissions, by using 'chmod 777 filename'.
You can then lock the permissions down as necessary.
