How I can add new modules to Apache?

Postby h2non » 23. October 2008 13:37

Hi!

I need add a new module to Apache server. At the moment, XAMPP doesn't have the module "bandwidth" (mod_bandwidth) and my question it's over this topic.

¿How I can add this module? ¿is to recompile XAMPP necessary?
¿What i can do?

Thanks you very much in advance!

I guess there is a readme with installation instructions with this module.

is to recompile XAMPP necessary?

No. But you need the XAMPP devel package.

That's what you can read in the readme from 3rd party modules like mod_bandwidth (XAMPP is just an Apache like any other).


using devel package?

You can't "use" the devel package. But you must have/installed it.

Okay, Now are installing. Thanks!

And another question, don't need recompile apache for add the module?

In positive case, only need copy the module file at /lampp/modules/ and modify the httpd.conf and perform correctly?

Thanks a lot and forgiveness for my heaviness :D

No.

only need copy the module file

No, you must compile the module (read the modul install instruction). (IMHO the installer is copying the module itself to the right location)

But, the module is only one file (mod_bandwidth.so).

And the installation guide of the module shows that I have to compile and install apache. I understand that there is everything to compile and install everything.

If it is not, that one method can be.

Then you have a precompiled module for some other webserver. The original mod_bandwidth is just a c source file.

(BTW: From what I can read, mod_bandwidth is for Apache 1.3 ...)

You are true! I compile the C code, but not runs.

By the time I leave aside this module.
By any chance know other similar modules for Apache 2.2.9?

Thank you very much!
