Hi All, Is there any benefit to removing Apache modules that the server doesn't appear to use? The list below is a list of the Apache modules that I appear to require to run my web server: LoadModule access_module modules/mod_access.so LoadModule log_config_module modules/mod_log_config.so LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so LoadModule setenvif_module modules/mod_setenvif.so LoadModule mime_module modules/mod_mime.so LoadModule negotiation_module modules/mod_negotiation.so LoadModule dir_module modules/mod_dir.so LoadModule alias_module modules/mod_alias.so LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so This list is a list of the all the modules I have commented out: LoadModule cache_module modules/mod_cache.so LoadModule disk_cache_module modules/mod_disk_cache.so LoadModule file_cache_module modules/mod_file_cache.so LoadModule mem_cache_module modules/mod_mem_cache.so LoadModule auth_module modules/mod_auth.so LoadModule auth_anon_module modules/mod_auth_anon.so LoadModule auth_dbm_module modules/mod_auth_dbm.so LoadModule auth_digest_module modules/mod_auth_digest.so LoadModule ldap_module modules/mod_ldap.so LoadModule auth_ldap_module modules/mod_auth_ldap.so LoadModule include_module modules/mod_include.so LoadModule logio_module modules/mod_logio.so LoadModule env_module modules/mod_env.so LoadModule mime_magic_module modules/mod_mime_magic.so LoadModule cern_meta_module modules/mod_cern_meta.so LoadModule expires_module modules/mod_expires.so LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so LoadModule usertrack_module modules/mod_usertrack.so LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so LoadModule autoindex_module modules/mod_autoindex.so LoadModule asis_module modules/mod_asis.so LoadModule info_module modules/mod_info.so LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so LoadModule actions_module modules/mod_actions.so LoadModule speling_module modules/mod_speling.so LoadModule userdir_module modules/mod_userdir.so LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so LoadModule suexec_module modules/mod_suexec.so LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so Everything still seem to work ok and as yet I've not found any side effects. Two questions really: 1) Does removing the seemingly unused modules provide any benefit? 2) Does anyone see any of the modules that I have removed as anything that might be required?
