Maybe the Apache version is too old? $ rpm -q httpd httpd-2.2.3-63.el5.centos.1 $ rpm -ql httpd | grep rewrite /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so $ ls -l /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60384 Feb 23 19:23 /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so $ ls -l trash\ directory.t5551-http-fetch/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60384 Feb 23 19:23 trash directory.t5551-http-fetch/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so Also, mod_rewrite is enabled in both the master config file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, as well as the minimal git/t/lib-httpd/apache.conf. > Does httpd/error.log in the trash directory say anything interesting? Nothing, it just gives the startup and shutdown message: $ cat trash\ directory.t5551-http-fetch/httpd/error.log [Sun Mar 25 15:27:12 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) configured -- resuming normal operations [Sun Mar 25 15:27:12 2012] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down I will try your patch from the other message a bit later and let you know.
