Yikes, mod_rewrite.c is a mystery to where to download it

Could someone tell me a specific URL that would allow me to just
download the file "mod_rewrite.c".

My Info:

My Apache: Using Apache2 on Windows.

What I've been told: I've been told at other places that I have
to "compile it". No clue what this means :)

I've also been given the apache.org site. But
that just tells you how to download Apache. Couldn't find out how to
download just this file.

I just need to get mod_rewrite working on my Apache for a specific
need I have, and I just noticed that I do not have this mod_write.c
file on my hard drive.

So I just need a copy of this file. If anyone has a copy of this file
that works on the Windows Apache2 version, and wants to email it to me,
I'd be eternally grateful.

Or a particular URL.

Thanks,
Steve

By the way, just thought I'd add that I *do* have the following 2 lines
UNcommented in my httpd.conf:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
AddModule mod_rewrite.c

Thanks
Steve

I'm not well versed in modules, but for the heck of it: try to remove the
line:
AddModule mod_rewrite.c

... and restart apache.

I've got no AddModule in my httpd.conf, and there's no mod_rewrite.c file,
and I assure you rewriting is OK. As far as I can tell AddModule is not
needed for Apache >= 2, but I leave it to someone who knows what he's
talking about to confirm this.

I'll try that Rik.

I'm trying to get my CakePHP working, and this requires configuring
Apache correctly, so I might even be doing something wrong with
cakePHP instead.

That's interesting if that is true about Apache 2 and above

Thanks

Oookkkk, then that would explain it when I try to leave AddModule in
there and when i restart Apache, i get an error message :)

Thanks a lot.

Ah, found it:

Upgrading to 2.0 from 1.3
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/upgrading.html>

"The AddModule and ClearModuleList directives no longer exist. These
directives were used to ensure that modules could be enabled in the
correct order. The new Apache 2.0 API allows modules to explicitly specify
their ordering, eliminating the need for these directives."

If I were you I would google around for example httpd.conf files and
php.ini files, or go somewhere like the XAMPP website for the whole
Apache Mysql PHP Perl, phpmyadmin etc... shebang. If you are not
familiar with the conf files you and are just patching things to make
it work, changing this and that, you will soon find yourself in trouble
with memory leaks and insecurities. My advice - start from a known
secure working conf and ini and always backup before you fiddle.
instead of starting with a hodge podge apache 1.3.x conf and presumably
trying to modify it to work with apache 2.x (which is different from
apache2.2.x) and a PHP5 installation.
