So, I want the source of rewrite problem. Did I do something wrong or mod_rewrite must be compiled in staticall?
Hmm, this is a good question and perhaps a source of an answer.
To try and figure out why everyone was having problems with 1.3.3, I upgraded our web server. Everything went fine. www.zope.org is being served by 1.3.3. I didn't have to change the conf file at all. Even better, lots of problems with shutdown disappeared, I'm now able to kill with the USR1 signal, etc.
BUT, I compiled it in statically.
At some point the Zope community has to say, "That's an Apache problem, ask them what's wrong." I _kind of_ felt like demonstrating a working system with 1.3.0 provided that kind of claim, but since people were using 1.3.3, it was a weak claim.
However, if 1.3.3 is known to work when mod_rewrite is statically compiled in, then that's a strong claim. Can you tell us if it works using a statically-compiled mod_rewrite?

Now I see, I guess, what was the problem with "Apache's DSO and mod_rewrite" and have a solution for a newbie by newbie(i.e. me).
It is *NOT* Apache problem but RedHat 5.2 problem as Andreas told.
Now the solution for those who DO NOT know how to update SRPM spec file.
1. Get apache-1.3.3-1.src.rpm (from ftp.redhat.com or rufus.w3.org). 2. Install apache-1.3.3-1.src.rpm 3. cd into /usr/src/redhat 4. rpm -bc SPEC/apache.spec 5. cd into /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/apache_1.3.3/src 6. /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop 7. cp httpd /usr/sbin/httpd 8. /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
Then, it works with DSO support. Works so well to be furious. This newbie spent weeks to guess out what was wrong.
I do not know why it works. But httpd file comes with CD is about 300K less than the one build from src.rpm.
One obvious good thing for the above procedure is that you apache setting is not altered at all.
I hope this might be a help for the awefull newbies like me.

I've got an apache-1.3.3 compiled with DSO that works quite well. (Actually, I've updated some apache-ssl spec file and build it myself :) ) The RH5.2 apache seems to be broken in this respect :( (I've verified that the modules the loaded, but they seem not to work :( ) Andreas
