I found that apacheconfig was not loading DSO modules that didn't have
directives in the /usr/lib/apache/1.3/*.info files being used in
httpd.conf. In my case mod_access.so which handles the 'Order' directive
wasn't being loaded. My solution was to Uppercase the 'order' directives
and run apacheconfig again.

Because there were no matching directives in httpd.conf the libphp3
module was also not being loaded resulting in .php3 pages failing to
display so I (unwisely?) hardcoded it into the module_standard function
in apacheconfig.
