Comment out the admin rewrite in httpd.conf for siteadmin and admin:

# This many seem a little tortured as a way to do this, but the
# quoting is hell.

$rewrite_rules =
'RewriteEngine On

Probably a few more things also but by the time you get everything you might as well just go with 
a new plain vanilla $650 linux box instead of a $3000 Raq.
