Grrrr! Mod_flippin_rewrite!!!

[EvilAsh]

Ok, it seems so easy in principle!

I am trying to use mod_rewrite on my test machine - Windows XP, running Apache 1.3.23, PHP 4.1.1, MYSQL 3.23.27.

I have follwed a tutorial I found on the net but instead of getting the desired results I get a 400 Bad Request page.

The idea is that I request a file 'test.html' and get the page showing the contents of 'test.php'.

On the Apache side, I have uncommented

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

and

AddModule mod_rewrite.c

in the httpd.conf file.

The .htaccess file reads

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?test\.html$ test.php [L]

I have run a phpinfo page and cannot find mod_rewrite listed as a module so I suspect the problem lies there.

Please, can anyone offer any suggestions?

Many thanks in anticipation.

Did you compile mod_rewrite when installing Apache?

--enable-module=rewrite

you're aware that you can use PHP code in .htm files to 'include' other files.... ??
