Just when you think it safe to go back in the water...

With all the last 3 pages of forum work complete, I now have moved my site onto the production server hosted by a third-party. They are running Apache 1.3, not 2.0 that I am. They gave me access to the Webmin 1.320 interface which allows me to set options like:

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all

And I'm getting nothing but 404 errors there. Again, it's as if the mod_rewrite module isn't working/running. Even the simplist rewrite function doesn't do anything.

Is the module loaded?

Seriously, make sure the environment is set to do what you want it to do. And always restart Apache when you make a change to the conf.

The tech there says the module is loaded, but I have no way of confirming it. I don't think I can restart it, I've got a trouble call in to the tech, so we'll see.

It's working! Apparently Webmin will automatically restart Apache when it sees that changes like this have been made, although I don't know what exactly triggers it or how long it takes.

Thanks Robert!!

Webmin, as part of it's processing, will always restart the servers whose configuration it is editing. It is a nice little feature.
