Well, it seems it is all relatively simple - as most solutions tend to be. re: AddHandler message: the statement needed to be moved to within <IfModule mime_module> .... </IfModule>
Probably, my builds were working fine. I am running into other warnings, and I am wondering if there is a specific, recommended, or preferred order of LoadModule statements so that the built-in part of apache can be limited to the four (4) modules I kept seeing from the httpd -l output. My feeling now is the main file I will need to update for a distribution is httpd.conf and/or the conf/extra directory. Any advice in this line of thought is appreciated. The comment on having apr and apr-util separate from the apache build is something I shall be looking at. Regarding the recommendation to seperate apr and apache: I have no idea how apr and apr-util actually work, but I have read that 'recently' other projects have started to use apr. Would the proper approach be to configure and install apr and apr-util and then rerun the apache configure - so that apache knows to not use/install it's own apr and apr-util?
