As to the WHY, well, the file extensions are different.  It's like the
difference between a .DOC file and a .TXT file and a .RTF file.  They're all
different, and the parser/executable uses the extension to tell it what to
expect.

Also, after you make changes to your httpd.conf make sure that you STOP and
START the Apache daemon.  That way, the changes get read from the httpd.conf
