I think the correct thing to do, if I'm not mistaken, is to use
a2enmod to enable them.  There should be no need to edit any files.
Once done with a2enmod, restarting apache is necessary.

The a2enmod command creates symlinks in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled to
the relevant files (conf and load) in /etc/apache2/mods-available.

Is php5 handled differently?
