Hi Christian...
This is Kevin Kiley...

The error you are seeing is correct.

The version of Apache you are trying to run is so ANCIENT
it doesn't even have the 'ap_regexec()' Apache regular
expression parsing API call in it. I believe it was added
somewhere around 1.3.7 ( some years back ).

Just upgrade to something other than an ANCIENT version
of Apache and all should be well.

Use 1.3.12 or 1.3.19 and don't bother with anything in-between
those versions. They were all 'bad' releases of Apache.

Caveat: Even now... some platforms do NOT support the
Apache mod_so dynamic module loading. If that remains
the case with your system then all you have to do is compile
mod_gzip.c into the 'core' Apache as a 'built-in' module.

So is this true?? What is the method on built-in. I am assuming this means
recompile apache?? Not for this guy, considering how Cobalt has everything
so chained and locked down.

I am willing to try other methods.
