Your Apache installation, as you point out, already has mod_so statically compiled in. There's no need to explicitly enable apxs. apxs is just used to compile Apache modules, such as the Pay Pal one you're trying to install. > So I'm wondering if this step is really necessary. I hate to futz with a perfectly fine Red Hat installation if it isn't. I don't think you'll need to change anything, just use apxs to complile the Apache module.
