Hi,

When you build apache, you have to enable the module. Probably, if
you run configure like:

  $ ./configure --enable-module=most --enable-shared=max
  (you might need to put other options) 

After you install apache, you should be able to enable mod_so in
apache's configure file.

For better and more details about options for configure script, you
might want to look at README.configure file in apache's source directory
and the output by running './configure --help'.
