Hi,

currently I'm migrating my WAA site form IIS to Apache 2.2.

So because all of my urls contain waa1gate.isa, I thougt it would be a good
idea to not change all html files but use mod_rewrite to change the .isa
extension into .exe... but I can't get mod_rewrite to do anything at all.

Basically, I'm using this lines in httpd.conf:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)waa1gate.isa(.*)$ $1waa1gate.exe$2 [R,L]
RewriteLog logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 9

But no URL rewriting takes place and rewrite.log stays empty...

The only thing I get is "couldn't create child process... waa1gate.isa" in
error.log.

I have been looking at this for hours now, read all the documentation I
could get from the apache website - but without any success...

I attach the complete configuration, so maybe some else immediately can
tell what I'm doing wrong (I'm almost 100% sure it is my fault 

The most frustating thing is that I once had this working on a different
machine, but lost the configuration due to a disk crash before I even had
the chance to do a backup...  (((

HELP

Problem solved, had to do with my virtual hosts... forgot to set the
rewrite engine on in the virtual host settings.
