Assistance Recompiling Apache...

I currently have my server running apache version (honestly, I can't remember if I have apache 1.33 or 2.0 installed, I disabled the footer's displayed on index pages so I can't remember how to check) and with the following configure statement (copied from phpinfo() )

'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--with-curl' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6' '--with-imap' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-kerberos' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-openssl' '--enable-discard-path' '--with-pear' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-ttf' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-versioning' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-zlib' '--enable-mbstring=all'

What I need to do, is I need to ENABLE:

--enable-vhost-alias
--enable-proxy
--enable-proxy-connect
--enable-proxy-ftp
--enable-proxy-http
--enable-rewrite

AT LEAST, and I'm considering if I should enable



--enable-so
Enable DSO capability provided by mod_so. This module will be automatically enabled if you use the --enable-mods-shared option.
--enable-speling
Enable the functionality to correct common URL misspellings, which is provided by mod_speling.
--enable-ssl
Enable support for SSL/TLS provided by mod_ssl.
--enable-unique-id
Enable the generation of per-request unique ids, which is provided by mod_unique_id.
--enable-usertrack
Enable user-session tracking provided by mod_usertrack.


I have SEVERAL hundred websites created already on this CPANEL web server, and I don't want to screw anything up, so I am asking for help in advance.

HOW can I add those new things to my apache setup, the EASIEST way, I am VERY afraid of downloading apache from apache.org and running the configure , make, make install commands, since I have several hundred websites already setup, I want to do this the easiest or maybe not easiest, but SAFEST way. I am afraid of reinstalling apache, I would rather add things to my httpd.conf and restart apache, that way if I get any errors, I can comment out the httpd.conf and restart and it's ok.


So is it possible I can add a few / serveral lines to my httpd.conf and that's it? Otherwise, what is the BEST/ SAFEST way I can enable these new modules in apache and if anything goes wrong, I can in minutes get my old setup back up and not have to panic like crazy because apache isn't working ( several hundred sites offline ).

Thank you in advance.
