hi,
dont leave the unwanted/old modules in the modules directory. make a new directory called modules-available and put them into there.
Leaving config there for modules which are not used won't hurt.
better still, emulate the method used for virtual servers and move modules to modules-available and then make a directory called modules and synlink the required files from modules-available
(it would be good if the server did modules-enabled/ etc like the virtual servers...)
be aware, too, that if you
'make install'
over a previous version it will write files that are non-existant into place...eg if you didnt need modules/detail and blew it away or renamed it then it'll put the normal original copy into place.
My approach is running the server with "-d dir", and place my tuned config in dir instead of where the install puts it. Default configuration is included by using symlinks. Bjørn
