Even before this change, you couldn't browse the manual without using a specific suggested configuration. > Of course you can argue that languages must be set > up correctly, but one of several guiding principals is that nobody must > modify their httpd.conf file to grab the latest and greatest version of > Apache 2.0 (this is why the auth changes are deferred until 2.0, because > the list of modules to load changes significantly.) True. But it is only the manual ;-) Nobody's existing site was broken. I'm still gradually being pushed towards splitting the manual from the regular httpd release because of issues like this. But I know this is a controversial question. A reminder to folks who don't pay attention to the docs list: there is a growing list of documentation in alternative formats (MS help, language-specific non-negotiated tarballs, pdf) at http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/docs/ Joshua.
