How do I add standard modules?

How do I add standard modules like mode_rewrite and mod_speling and mod_auth_dbm to apache.
What should I do after I uncomment these lines in Configuration file?

# AddModule modules/standard/mod_speling.o
# AddModule modules/standard/mod_auth_dbm.o
## AddModule modules/standard/mod_rewrite.o


Should I recomplile apache after that or what?

I also need all modules that I currently have to be available after I add these in.

I really need step-by-step instructions. I have the telnet access to the server and root password.

The Apache is currently running, so I don't want to mess it up, I can't afford any loss of data and a long downtime.

I know this is not a big deal, but my experience with Apache is limited to httpd.conf file.

i would say, yes. you need to add these extension modules and then recompile apache. assuming that you then make the necessary additions to ur httpd.conf file you should see the new and improved apache!

one piece of advice but - make sure u really know ur mod_rewrite b4 u use it! URL


------------------
to err is human,
u need the root password to really screw up.
