[users@httpd] gdbm: rewritemap -- broken?

[Jason Morehouse <jm...@netconcepts.com>]

Hello all,

I've spent the last 4 hours trying to get rewritemap to work with 
apache-2.50 to no success.  I'm not sure if it's a bug, or I'm just 
completely missing something.  Any help would be appreciated...

The text rewrite map works just fine:

	RewriteMap vhost txt:/var/www/map.txt

If I switch to a db, it doesn't error, but also doesn't rewrite.  The 
database is a single gdmb file with 1 key and 1 value as is the text map.

	RewriteMap vhost dbm:/var/www/map

Specify ndbm: errors on apacheclr restart.
 	RewriteMap vhost dbm=gdbm:/var/www/map

[/usr/src/httpd-2.0.50]
Syntax error on line 44 of /etc/httpd.conf:
RewriteMap: dbm type gdbm is invalid

type is specified as documented in:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html

Apache is configured --with-gdbm as documented in:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/programs/configure.html

configure shows:
root-v>>./configure '--enable-rewrite' '--enable-so' '--enable-ssl=shared' 
'--wi th-ssl=/usr/include/openssl' '--enable-ssl' --with-gdbm | grep -i 
gdbm

  setting APRUTIL_EXPORT_LIBS to "-lgdbm"
  setting APRUTIL_LIBS to "-lgdbm"

Oddly (or not?) a make only shows:

-g -O2 -pthread <snip...> -lgdbm  /usr/src/httpd-2.0.50/srclib/apr-util/xml/expat/lib/libexpat.la

Show ndbm show in there?  Any pointers?  

Thank you!
