This patch to htdocs/manual/mod/index.html is meant to assist people who are trying to get familiar with apache by skimming the docs. Ordering the modules by purpose, rather than alphabetically should be much easier for begginners. For example, if you need to set environment variables and found that mod_env did not do the trick, you would see mod_setenvif nearby, rather than at the other end of the list. The cost of this change is that people looking for the docs for a specific module may be delayed by half a second or so. Not a big deal, in my opinion.
The grouping of modules comes mostly from the one already used in the INSTALL file in the source distribution. -- Joshua Slive [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://finance.commerce.ubc.ca/~slive/ Phone: (604) 822-1871
