How to determine if mod_rewrite is installed with Apache?

Hello,

What's the correct way to know for sure whether mod_rewrite module is
installed or not? This is Server version: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix). I
did 'httpd -l'. But did not see mod_rewrite. Does that mean my
Apache server has no mod_rewrite support?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Bing

mod_rewrite is usually installed as a dynamically-linked module, not
compiled into the main Apache executable.

Check your httpd.conf for a LoadModule directive referencing
mod_rewrite.so. To be sure, you can just add a RewriteRule directive
to httpd.conf and see if Apache flags an error indicating the lack of
mod_rewrite.

Where can I get the mod_rewrite module? I can not locate
mod_rewrite.c or mod_rewrite.so on my Apache server.

Thanks,

Never mind. I've figured out how to get mod_rewrite enabled.

Just download the sources from http://httpd.apache.org and you will
find mod_rewrite.c there...
