When compiling I get .so instead og .dll??

Hi

I'm trying to compile mod_rewrite to a dll file.
The problem is when I compile the mod_rewrite.dsp in VisualStudio 6 or use the 'nmake' command to compile mod_rewrite.mak in DOS-mode I only get a mod_rewrite.so, I don't get a mod_rewrite.dll!?

So, what have I done wrong?

I need the dll to make the mod_rewrite to work in my Apache.
My Apache resides on my Win 2000 computer.

Pls, I need help...

Apache 1.3.xx has been changed and rename from *.dll to *.so files, because of DSO. Therefore, *.so files are correct and should be work as well. My old Win2k Pro with Apache 1.3.xx that I compiled with MSVC++ and whole module files are in *.so. I don't have any of problem with it.

You should read about it at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/dso.html in "Implementation" paragraph.

BTW: I don't use Apache in Windows anymore, so I don't really remember how to compile those with MSVC++..

Thx.
I have tried to just uncomment the .so files in the httpd.conf file.
But I don't seen to get it to work.

Ah well I'll keep on trying.

Thx again

Maybe, it's something wrong with your create/write the mod_rewrite string. Why don't you post the lines of mod_rewrite? Also, check in Apache's log for the error.

Hmmm... it seems like you are right...
When I didn´t take away the '#' infront of the two lines in httpd.conf I got this message in error.log: '[Fri Mar 08 08:16:36 2002] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] c:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/.htaccess: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration'.

When i took away the '#' i didn't.

I have then created a '.htaccess'-file and in this written:

I have cun and paste this example. It should redirect every file except for images to 'index.html'.

When I directly access a image it works, I can see the image. But when I'm trying to access any other file, nothin seems to happen... have I cerated the deadly loop that I have read about?

Maybe the path to 'index.html' is wrong?
I have installed the apache server in the path 'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs', I have put the '.htaccess'-file in the 'htdocs' -folder. In this folder I also keep the 'index.html'. Have I written the wrong path in the '.htaccess' -file?

Sorry for the beginner questions...

Hoping for more help
