AFAIK the only way to install it without using apxs is to recompile Apache
from scratch with support for this module.  apxs is a program that allows
you to install modules and run them as DSO (dynamically shared objects)
*without* recompiling Apache.  Since it's the program letting you do the
install disabling it is akin to throwing away your drill because you're
having problems getting the drill bit to penetrate an object.  Perhaps apxs
simply can't be found.  What server are you using and where is apxs (do
"whereis apxs")?  It may be looking for it in the wrong place so if it's in
/usr/sbin/apxs make a symbolic link to /usr/bin/apxs and if it's there
already make a symbolic link to /usr/sbin/apxs and see if that helps (I
forget where Apache is looking for it).
