Subject: Re: [users@httpd] mime module in Apache

Actually the line:

LoadModule mime_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_mime.so

is in my /etc/apache/module.s.conf file

Also, I have removed the line:
>>>> AddModule mod_mime.c

which I had manually added from the modules.conf file. Was that a 
mistake?
I also note that according to the modules.conf file I shouldn't make 
any changes to the file, but instead I should

# Autogenerated file - do not edit!
# This file is maintained by the apache package.
# To update it, run the command:
#    /usr/sbin/apache-modconf apache

So, does this mean that after I added the AddModule mod_mime.c line, I 
should have issues the command /usr/sbin/apache-modconf apache ?
