Hi again,
	I made what you told me to do (what a good boy!) and I discovered that the
mod_rewrite module is compiled by default in the port collection. So the
port don't take the Apache defaults because it's not supposed to be
included by default in the Apache Dist.

Thanks a lot for your information!
