 Looks like apache needs a rebuild.
 I am busy elsewhere.
 And will defer work on repairing apache until next week.

 But before I embark on these repairs I am considering putting apache 
 under Git.
 I want to be able to capture and save my current apache configuration 
 in case this is lost in any rebuild.

 I know. I know. There is something about shutting the barn door after 
 the horse is gone.

 Thoughts? Suggestions?

 Thanks
