Inserting a line at a specific point

Inserting a line at a specific point

[MARG]

Hi,

I want to insert these two lines in Apache's httpd.conf:
LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so
AddModule mod_python.c

just right after the line
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

and not at the end of the file (with a simple echo "AddModule
mod_python.c" >> httpd.conf).

I've searched the web, tried my best, but couldn't make it.

Can you help me please ?

Warm Regards,
MARG

You'll have to use sed. See the previous mails sent to the list.
Doesn't ApacheToolbox work for you? http://www.apachetoolbox.com

Use a text editor.

Unless, that is, you need to automate the process. In which case, the
correct approach depends upon exactly why and how you need to do this. 
Whatever the reason, ad-hoc sed scripts to modify config files
probably isn't the right approach.

One option is to create a patch (with "diff") which you can apply with
"patch". Use -C or -U with a suitable argument so that the patch will
apply reliably to any httpd.conf file.
