mod_rewrite and disabling HTTP TRACE - no worky

Question: Does Apache 2.0.54 have mod_rewrite non-compiled in, or HTTP
TRACE already disabled?

I've got straight out-of-the-box gcc compile of the latest 386 source
for Apache2. No configuration changes whatsoever.

No virutual server config'd, but I still wanted to disable the HTTP
TRACE functionality. I inserted the 3 recommended lines into the main
httpd.conf file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRACE
RewriteRule .* - [F]

But when I try to restart the server, I get:

[101#] ../bin/apachectl stop
Syntax error on line 84 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a
module not included in the server configuration

Hmmm... okay, so maybe the module wasn't included in the config - how
do I make that determination??? What am I missing?


Thanks,
