Apache 2.0 Mod_rewrite

[jay3ld]

Hello,
For the first time today I installed apache 2.2.3 and php 5.1.4 on my computer manually without installers and going to do mysql soon. Took me almost 3 hours to get php one done correctly because of a lib (libxml2) I didn't have on my computer.

I am getting a 500 error on a page that uses .htaccess
The .htaccess has stuff from mod_rewrite..
I know there is nothing wrong with the .htaccess It works on my webserver and It came with the websoftwre I downloaded.

I configured apache with this when I installed it:
./configure \
--prefix=/apache2 \
--enable-module=most \
--enable-shared=max

Did I miss anything I should of had in the install line that could of affected me?

Thanks...
