Answering (hopefully) my own question now, having done some research I came up with this:
Code:
apxs is a tool for building and installing extension modules for the Apache HyperText
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. This is achieved by building a Dynamic Shared Object
(DSO) from one or more source or object files which then can be loaded into the Apache
server under runtime via the LoadModule directive from mod_so.
So to use this extension mechanism, your platform has to support the DSO feature and
your Apache httpd binary has to be built with the mod_so module. The apxs tool automatically
complains if this is not the case. You can check this yourself by manually running the command
$ httpd -l
The module mod_so should be part of the displayed list.
I presume my Apache server isn't configured in this way, so what are the implications for implementing this or should I be raising a ticket now?
