I ended up having a similar problem with mod_rewrite. tapping in, in the
event someone else needs the assist.
>in httpd.conf: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
>error_log: Function not implemented: AH00023: Couldn't create the
rewrite-map mutex
I solved with "Mutex flock:/etc/httpd/conf/mutex rewrite-map"
I've elected to use the 'flock' instead of 'file' or 'fcntl' simply b/c I
dont know what 'best' is for 'file' and fcntl in theory has a listed
problem, although unlikely.
I tested posixsem as well, and it works. although it says
apache documentation on mutex wrote

That does not sound appealing to me, thus flock.
