   I believe that there are several ways to add a module to
   Apache 1. I haven't tried ApacheToolbox yet but I plan to examine
   it soon.

   If you want to use --add-module then it alone is sufficient:

   --add-module=/path/to/mod_security.c

   it will add and activate the module at the same time.

   The approach described in the manual works for me (provided you
   use the two options in that order). I am not really sure
   what could be the problem in your setup.

   ...

   Nevertheless, the --add-module approach is simpler than the approach
   described in the manual. I will update the manual to use it instead.
