Apache 2.0 fails to start... [solved]

[bb002]

I installed mandrake 10.0 on a 200Mhz Pentium and 96MB RAM.

 

I have been wanting to learn the linux commandline and not have a gui to be able to fall back on. So i install 10.0 as a text only install. installed apache2 with it.

 

 

on boot up apache2 says failed. i check all of the configuration and changed what i needed too. but it still fails.

 

running /etc/init.d/httpd extendedstatus

 

reports:

 

Looking up localhost

Making HTTP connection to localhost

Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

 

lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost/server-status

checking /etc/httpd/logs/error_log

shows line after line of:

 

[Time of error] [crit] (38)Function not implemented: mod_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lock

Configuration Failed

 

 

 

Tried googling but can't find anything.

try the apache2-mod_rewrite (or something like that) package...

I downloaded the newest apache2, compiled and overwrote old version. Everything started fine then. And everything is running perfect.

 

 

Sorry I haven't posted in so long, for some reason I have been unable to get to this website from my home computer. Couldn't get here from work either....

 

As a matter of fact...we have been unable to get on the internet at work for a week. found a faulty route in our iprouting tables, finally. everything on the 66.*.*.* network was routed to 127.0.0.1 and our dns server are on that network...dunno where that route came from.

 

still can't get here from home.
