Apache PHP

[Paul Guba]

Nope running 2.1 and don't want to do an OS reinstall spent to much time 
getting it to run the way I like now.  If 2.2 supports out of box shouldn't I 
be able to find the module using "rpm -ql apache"?  I have 2.2 installed on 
my powerbook.  Is it implemented in some other way or am I missing something 
here?  I ask because perhaps it the same with 2.1 install.
