i wish apache (debian?) would massage the default httpd.conf to
include lots of <ifModule> directives:

	<ifModule mod_dir.c>
		DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.html /perl/index.pl
	</ifModule>
	<ifModule mod_alias.c>
		Alias /icons /usr/share/apache/icons
		ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/lib/cgi-bin
	</ifModule>

then when you wanna tinker, you can just comment or un-comment
a couple LoadModule lines, and you're up and running!

to find out which module a config command belongs to,

	apt-get install apache-doc

and browse to

	localhost/doc/apache/manual/

(altho /doc is associated with /usr/doc, and apache-doc installs
into /usr/share/doc -- munge your httpd.conf aliases if
necessary)

hit "modules" to see a by-module listing (which directives does
module xyz support?)

hit "runtime config directives" to get a by-directive listing
(click any of them to see the module-specific features).

--

unless you're talking about a non-standard module for apache,
but hopefully that also installs similar documentation. if you
have server-info enabled in httpd.conf, browse there and it'll
show which modules are active, and list all their config commands
(and show current settings).
