Then how come I can not fined it. It does not show up in the
httpd.conf file as a module and it is not listed as being compiled
into http  when I run httpd -l. What am I missing? I can not get it to
run any rewrite rules. Is there a switch inn the conf file that I have
to change.
I am just moving to httpd 2 from apache 3.* so some things are
different to me

$ grep -n rewrite /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.orig
188:LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html

shows you that you need to switch it on with

RewriteEngine on

and of course you will have to set proper rules.

AFAIK the module should be in "/usr/lib/httpd/modules". You should also  
the following in your httpd.conf file:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Then use .htaccess files for your rewrite rules, eg:

Options +FollowSymLinks
     RewriteEngine On
     ReWriteRule ^main/([A-Z0-9a-z_]*) /index.php?file=$1.xml [L]

That's how I have it working on my machine anyway. Let us know if you  
getting it working ;)

This is what my rewrite rules look like they worked just fine on
 Apache 3.*  but can not get them to work on httpd 2

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                    ^([^:]+)
RewriteRule ^/acp/?$                        http://%1:8080/autocontrol/index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                    ^([^:]+)
RewriteRule ^/ucp/?$                        http://%1:8080/user/index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                    ^([^:]+)
RewriteRule ^/rcp/?$                        http://%1:8080/resellerpanel/index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                    ^([^:]+)
RewriteRule ^/ecp/?$                        http://%1:8080/emailuser/index.php

Have you tried adding the following to httpd.conf?

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
     RewriteEngine On

What does httpd say when you restart it after adding this?
