Hello Apache Professional or Expert users,

May I know is there any method to remove a static module or or converting it into share module, which it has already compiled together with the Apache Web Server?

I accidently compiled the Apache Web Server core together with most of the module:

Code:

# ./httpd -l
Compiled in modules:
core.c
mod_authn_file.c
mod_authn_default.c
mod_authz_host.c
mod_authz_groupfile.c
mod_authz_user.c
mod_authz_default.c
mod_auth_basic.c
mod_include.c
mod_filter.c
mod_log_config.c
mod_env.c
mod_mime_magic.c
mod_setenvif.c
mod_ssl.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_mime.c
mod_dav.c
mod_status.c
mod_autoindex.c
mod_asis.c
mod_cgi.c
mod_dav_fs.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_dir.c
mod_actions.c
mod_userdir.c
mod_alias.c
mod_rewrite.c
mod_so.c


Code:

# ./httpd -M
Loaded Modules:
core_module (static)
authn_file_module (static)
authn_default_module (static)
authz_host_module (static)
authz_groupfile_module (static)
authz_user_module (static)
authz_default_module (static)
auth_basic_module (static)
include_module (static)
filter_module (static)
log_config_module (static)
env_module (static)
mime_magic_module (static)
setenvif_module (static)
ssl_module (static)
mpm_prefork_module (static)
http_module (static)
mime_module (static)
dav_module (static)
status_module (static)
autoindex_module (static)
asis_module (static)
cgi_module (static)
dav_fs_module (static)
negotiation_module (static)
dir_module (static)
actions_module (static)
userdir_module (static)
alias_module (static)
rewrite_module (static)
so_module (static)
jk_module (shared)
Syntax OK


therefore I am seeking help on how to remove the static module or converting it into share module.

Thank you

If you don't want that static modules you'll have to compile apache yourself. From your list of the static modules, I guess you running some linux?

I'm curious as to this subject as well.

From what I understood reading the instructions for building on *nix, using

--with-modules=shared and --with-dso was supposed to leave me a directory ful of .so files but no!, they got compiled into httpd anyway.

I also find it a little stupid

--with-modules=all is an option
--with-modules=shared is supposedly an option.

so what about
--with-shared-modules=all <-- tried this too with no luck.


it would be nice if ./configure --help helped a little more than it does when it comes to these choices.

AFAIK you have to say every module that it should be shared as dso.

./configure --prefix=/path/to/install --enable-foo=shared

For full knowledge see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/dso.html#usage

edit:

Second thought: --disable=all and than build the modules with apxs

If you are using Apache 2.2, I think the configure switch you want is:
Code:
 --enable-mods-shared=all

If you just want the most commonly used modules, try:
Code:
 --enable-mods-shared=most

Either of these implies --enable-so, so you don't need to specify that separately.

The switches you are using look like they are from an older version of Apache.

Hi Tom,

Welcome back to world, it's been so long I hope your holidays were great and the new year is treating you good as well.

I was going off the top of my head. Guess I'll fire up the fedora box and have a look.

I was pretty sure I used

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-mods-shared=all --enable-so --with-included-apr --with-ssl=/usr/local --with-z=/root/zlib-1.2.3

However, this time I noticed makefiles being generated for the indiviual modules so I guess I didn't do that the first time. I built 3 times trying different options ... I know I used --enable-mods-shared=all on one of the go-arounds and --enable-so on all of them, oh well .. red face again!
