I understand that modules can be compiled into the httpd binary or loaded from the httpd.conf file. The only difference I can see is that if compiled into the binary, then individual modules can't be enabled or disabled easy as if the module loading is controlled by the httpd.conf file. I also understand that when running configure script you that there is a default list of modules that will be compiled into the binary (v2). So if I only want certain modules compiled in the binary, do I have to specify or disable each and every module that I don't want? That seems like a pain.
Also, if I want to load my needed modules from httpd.conf, what is the basic way to do that? Do I have to compile each module individually or is this done somehow when running the configure script?
I am pretty confused by modules and haven't been able to find much documentation that answers the specific questions I have.
Thanks for any information
