Hi there, can anyone help me out with this problem?

I just added mod_ssl so my setup, no problem, regular pages work just
fine. Then I tried to access some URL's with RewriteRule's in, no joy.
The ssl-access_log shows the URL as before the rewrite.

I'm looking at the config files and the modules appear to be executing
in the right order (its the AddModule order that counts right?), but
its not working, so I tried changing the order of the AddModules and
then of the LoadModules also, it makes no difference.

Just as a test I changed the order of the mod_cgi and mod_rewrite
around, that makes no difference also, the rewrite rule continues to
work whether I put mod_rewrite before or after mod_cgi.

So the question seems to be, does AddModule make any difference at all?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tony.

Well, according to one place in the docs, the modules are actually loaded in
the reverse order that they are COMPILED into httpd. Apparently Add/LoadModule
order is not a factor.

I can't say if recompiling will definitely help your problem, but it can't
hurt to try.

I believe that what you say is true for static, but NOT dynamically
loaded modules. For dynamically loaded modules, the order of
directives in httpd.conf is important.
