apache2 configuration

I am going through the apache config file and i have a number of questions. (im using apache 2)

question 1
Im seeing parts of the config file that are like this
-----------------------
# WinNT MPM
#comments and crap
<IfModule mpm_winnt.c>
config stuf
</IfModule>
-----------------------
of course I wont need this (or BeOS, or netware) seing as how I am on linux, but do I need to leave these parts of the config file there for refference or is it safe to delete them for a smaller nicer config file?

also theres <IfModule prefork.c>, <IfModule worker.c>, and <IfModule perchild.c>. are all these for linux, cause I cant quite tell.

question 2
where are config files for the various modules stored?

1.

to answer question 1, i'd just leave em alone because it only does anything if u have those modules. you coudl probably delete them but...if it aint broke dont fix it.

2. i have files for apache2 all over the place (Gentoo defaults)

i have a config file for /etc/init.d/apache2 in /etc/conf.d (filename is apache2)
and in it i had to add a line to get PHP4 support:
here is the entire file

Code:

# Config file for /etc/init.d/apache2



# An example from /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/40_mod_ssl.conf:

#

# <IfDefine SSL>

#  <IfModule !mod_ssl.c>

#    LoadModule ssl_module    extramodules/mod_ssl.so

#  </IfModule>

# </IfDefine>

#

# This means that the mod_ssl.so DSO module is only loaded

# into the server when you pass "-D SSL" at startup.  To

# enable WebDAV, add "-D DAV -D DAV_FS".  If you installed

# mod_php then add "-D PHP4".  For more options, please

# read the files in the /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d directory.



APACHE2_OPTS="-D SSL -D PHP4"

i have stuff in /etc/apache2 for modules also. i normally dont touch modules accept to add the PHP4 support.
