That's really common (only usually there are two missing.) They are 
supposed to be included with your ISP's installation of Apache. But not 
all ISPs will install those two so you have to ask them to do it. The 
Rev engine checks for certain libraries and won't start up without them. 
The odd thing is, the engine doesn't ever *read* those files, so -- I 
was told -- your ISP can even just put in blank text files as long as 
they have the same names. If they won't do it, then your only choice is 
to take your business elsewhere.

It happened to me, and I moved. JaguarPC. You don't have to ask for 
anything special, their standard installation has everything Rev needs.
