ok i downloaded apache 1.3.12 and did all the stuff i was told to do, and
everything seems to have worked except now when i try to run
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachect1 start
it won't load any of the modules...so i commented out all of the LoadModule
directives, but then of coarse it would not do the AddModule stuff...sooooo??
now i have a whole new problem not sure where to start fixing...do i not need my
httpd.conf to load any of those modules?
