Apache2 installs but won´t start

[Warren Post]

I´ve installed Apache2 via urpmi (apache2-2.0.48-6.8.100mdk,
apache-conf-2.0.48-2mdk, apache2-modules-2.0.48-6.8.100mdk, and
apache2-common-2.0.48-6.8.100mdk) but attempting to start it with
¨apachectl restart¨ as root fails thus:

[root@gerencia warren]# apachectl configtest
Verificando la integridad de la configuración para Apache 2.0: [ OK ]
[root@gerencia warren]# apachectl start Starting httpd2: [FALLÓ ]

And /var/log/httpd/error_log reads:

[root@gerencia warren]# tail /var/log/httpd/error_log
[Fri Feb 25 08:55:31 2005] [crit] (38)Function not implemented:
mod_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lock Configuration Failed

I have confirmed in Webmin that mod_rewrite is active and I´ve read the
Apache documentation but am just as clueless as before.
What should I be looking at in order to get this server running?

TIA,

Yep, that´s it. My apache2 installation starts fine if I´m running the
2.6.3-7mdk kernel. The problems return if I run the 2.4.22-21mm.2mdk
kernel. Thank you.

Strange: I found nothing on Google before posting, but now I see that you
are right. I must have made a stupid mistake cutting and pasting into
Google. Geez, if I can´t even cut and paste properly, maybe I have no
business running a web server...
