ClearModuleList

[BigWil]

Ok. I give. What is ClearModuleList all about. I see it used, I see the apache core documentation telling what it does which is to clear the module list so modules can be re-added in a different order. Pretty simple. But why?

What is the purpose of having modules loaded in a particular order? Should more commonly used modules come first, last, does it matter? If a module is compiled in does it have to be added back or just those that are loaded?

I have read page after page and still no answer to this.

Sometimes the order in which modules are loaded are important. For example, if you have a module which is dependent on another module, you must load the dependents before it otherwise you may have trouble.

At least thats the way I understand it.

There is no particular order in which I have mine organized, since it really doesn't matter I would think. The entire httpd.conf file must be read for apache to start so...

Yep. That was my take on the matter. If it is all getting loaded into the daemon what is the difference. Thanks for the input.
