How do I install dynamic modules?

Use the "LoadModule" directive in order to load a dynamic module into your Apache web server. The LoadModule should be placed at the top of your httpd.conf file. The syntax is like this:
     LoadModule <modulename>_module modules/<filename>
For example, to add the Status Module, add this line:
     LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so
If you try to load all the modules at the same time you will probably get a resource error. Simply load the modules you need one at a time. For more detailed information regarding installation refer to the Apache website.

The following modules are ready to be added to your Virtual Server:

    Module                  Description                     URL for more info

Adding your own modules
In addition to using the Apache modules we supply, you also have the ability to create and install your own modules on the Virtual Server. This provides you with the ability to extend the features and capabilities of Apache by adding the specific module you need, when you need it.

You can compile your own modules but support is NOT responsible for compiling or troubleshooting modules at all. Here are some steps for compiling Apache modules:

  1. Compile it normally but using the "shlicc2" compiler but link it using the "-r" flag. This will create a relocatiable object.
  2. Put the mod_xxx.so in your ~/www/modules directory.
  3. Add the "LoadModule ..." to the top of your httpd.conf
See http://www.apache.org/docs/dso.html for more information.
