Or can I just disable them all and then add them in as I need them? In theory, none of the modules beyond Apache's core and a prefork or mpm worker module are required. In practice, mod_cgi, mod_headers, mod_include, mod_log_config, mod_mime, mod_so are going to be needed for the webserver to be usable for normal purposes. There is documentation here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/ Regards, -- -Chuck
