I upgraded from 11.2 to 11.4 (64bit) . It didn’t like the upgrade option so I ended up having to do a full install.
I still think something went wrong because because I can’t find mod_rewrite in any of my packages. Can someone tell me which apache rpm that apache rewrite is supposed to come with? Or if anyone else has had a similar problem please let me know.
The interesting thing is that the binary for rewrite is actually there. However, when I try to run apache it removes it from the LoadModule.conf file along with quite a few other modules so I’m guessing it detected that they were left over from the previous version of the OS and is rejecting them.
I have looked through the file list of every apache rpm I have installed which is a lot of them that have been supplied and rewrite is not showing anywhere. I’m out of ideas so any help appreciated.
And of course I also looked through the repo. website but perhaps I missed something so if anyone knows the URL to the RPM, please pass it along!
I’m assuming that it does exists for 11.4 since it would be crazy to release a version without Apache rewrite.
Your help much appreciated.

Running Tumbleweed, but my apache2 package is from the Update repo. It has mod_rewrite.so…, so I’d say it’s there. Search in Yast - Software Management, tick “RPM Provides” and search.

you’re probably modifying the wrong file to enable the module – the one
that says, in a comment on top, that it shouldn’t be edited because
changes will be overriden during runtime configuration. you need to edit
/etc/sysconfig/apache2 to enable/disable modules.

That worked. When I said “make same as repo.” which was an option once I selected “RPM Provides” it downgraded the version slightly and all those missing modules came back.
Thanks!

fyi next time: i always do a full install, but some here claim full
success and a smile if they carefully follow one of these two known to
work and supported upgrade paths:
http://tinyurl.com/35p966c
http://tinyurl.com/6kvoflv
and, neither of those supported ways includes an upgrade which skips a
version…which means you need to go from 11.2 to 11.3 and then 11.4
if you don’t want to do that then backup all data and do a full fresh
format and new install…
ymmv and you will find other opinions.
