Having difficulty getting mod_rewrite to start ...

In the default httpd.conf file of my installation the following line appears:
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

In The Configuring Gallery FAQ Part B it says to put:

    LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.so
    AddModule mod_rewrite.c

when I add those lines to httpd.conf the server will not restart

I have the same problem when I add:

    LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
    AddModule mod_rewrite.c

The "mod_rewrite.so" module is installed correctly at Apache2/modules but I don't see any files called "mod_rewrite.c"

Any help would be much appreciated.

FIXED: The two posts above are what you're looking for if you need to enable mod-rewrite on a XP server (I needed this for Joomla) ..Thought I would make it clear this is part of the SEO implementation solution for Joomla as there are many misleading posts out there on this subject.
