Shibboleth.sso not replying on SP in 2.3.1

I did the experiment and it is confirmed:

LoadModule mod_shib ...

MUST appear before any other LoadModule that captures requests (including
mod_passenger, and I suspect mod_php, etc)  or it will NOT capture
/Shibboleth.sso/ interactions.

Thanks again for the help, and please do whatever you can to help spread
the word.

Implementing Shibboleth just shortened my life by a year through increased
stress.
