i wish apache (debian?) would massage the default httpd.conf to include lots of <ifModule> directives: <ifModule mod_dir.c> DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.html /perl/index.pl </ifModule> <ifModule mod_alias.c> Alias /icons /usr/share/apache/icons ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/lib/cgi-bin </ifModule> then when you wanna tinker, you can just comment or un-comment a couple LoadModule lines, and you're up and running! -- to find out which module a config command belongs to, apt-get install apache-doc and browse to localhost/doc/apache/manual/ (altho /doc is associated with /usr/doc, and apache-doc installs into /usr/share/doc -- munge your httpd.conf aliases if necessary) hit "modules" to see a by-module listing (which directives does module xyz support?) hit "runtime config directives" to get a by-directive listing (click any of them to see the module-specific features). -- unless you're talking about a non-standard module for apache, but hopefully that also installs similar documentation. if you have server-info enabled in httpd.conf, browse there and it'll show which modules are active, and list all their config commands (and show current settings). -- See, if you were allowed to keep the money, you wouldn't create jobs with it.
