Installing an apache module without recompiling Apache (Easyapache)

[Spark]

Below are the steps to install an apache module without recompiling Apache (Easyapache) :

===========
cd /home/cpeasyapache/src/httpd-2.x.x/modules/mappers/

Make sure the module you need is in uncompiled format (mod_module.c).

Then from command prompt run:

/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -c mod_module.c
Example : /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -c mod_imagemap.c

This will create the DSO in /home/cpeasyapache/src/httpd-2.x.x/modules/mappers/.libs/ folder.

Copy the mod_module.so file to /usr/local/apache/modules/ file

Load the module and enable it in Apache configuration file.
===========

You can check whether module is installed or not by using the below command :

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES
