Getting a list of installed apache modules is quite easy with php.

But I want to show all the installed modules with their version!!
(Apache Windows version 2.4.4)

Just can't find the right way to do this.

Here is what I use:

<?php
$version = apache_get_version();
echo "$version\n";
?>

I guess you did not understand my question.

I don't want to get the Apache version,
but the versions of all the loaded modules, for example mod_security.so, mod_xsendfile.so, mod_status.so, etc ...

My .PHP command will show you as will this one

$_SERVER["SERVER_SOFTWARE"];

I think we both don't understand each other.

I want something like this:

<pre>
<?php
print_r (apache_get_modules());
?>
</pre>


It gives a list of the loaded modules, which is ok:

Array
(
[0] => core
[1] => mod_win32
[2] => mpm_winnt
[3] => http_core
[4] => mod_so
[5] => mod_access_compat
[6] => mod_actions
[7] => mod_alias
[8] => mod_asis
[9] => mod_auth_basic
[10] => mod_auth_digest
[11] => mod_authn_core
[12] => mod_authn_file
[13] => mod_authz_core
[14] => mod_authz_groupfile
[15] => mod_authz_host
[16] => mod_authz_user
[17] => mod_autoindex
[18] => mod_cgi
[19] => mod_dir
[20] => mod_env
[21] => mod_include
[22] => mod_isapi
[23] => mod_log_config
[24] => mod_mime
[25] => mod_negotiation
[26] => mod_setenvif
[27] => mod_status
[28] => mod_unique_id
[29] => mod_security2
[30] => mod_xsendfile
[31] => mod_php5
)

But now I also want to show the version number of each loaded module.

Is this the type of output you are wanting to see?

Apache/2.2.22 (Unix) DAV/2 PHP/5.5.0alpha6 mod_ssl/2.2.22 OpenSSL/0.9.8r

My output shown in my previous post was shown using this .PHP script (don't let the name fool you).

<?php
$version = apache_get_version();
echo "$version\n";
?>

Sorry, I don't think we're getting to my goal this way. You still seem to misunderstand me.

Maybe there is somebody else who understands what I really want to achieve in this matter.

To make things clear again, I'm running the latest Windows version of Apache software (2.4.4 VC11, with PHP 5.5.0 beta 1).
The thing I want to do is to display the software version of all the installed apache modules. How difficult can this be to understand???

For example:

mod_xsendfile 1.0
mod_security 2.7.1

etc .....

@devsys ... not all modules will show in the $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE], and ServerTokens All would have to be set. Modules need to tell Apache to announce themselves and not many do.

Code:
        ap_add_version_component(p, "mod_thisorthat/0.0.0");


@hankman, probably not, unless:
1. All are announced in $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE]
2. They were compiled with a resource file, which is also rare. If they were the DLL/SO would have that info embedded into it. Grab a standard Apache module and check it's file properties, they have the info embedded.

H:

I see what you are getting at. You want to see all that are installed. The .PHP script that I am using shows what is loaded/running. My apologies for the confusion.

Hello glsmith,
I´m running apache on CentOS and I would like to get exactly the same information as the founder of this thread.
So, according to what you´ve said, this is what I´ve done:

Code:
cd /usr/lib64/httpd/modules
file *.so


And the output is:

Code:
...
mod_actions.so:         ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped
mod_alias.so:           ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped
mod_asis.so:            ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped
mod_auth_basic.so:      ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped
...


Is that "version 1" really what I want to know? I just feel a bit unsure about it, since every module shows the same.

No I don't think so. I'm not completely familiar with how builds are done in Linux, but in Windows there's a resource file with version info embedded. On the standard Apache modules, the version always shows same as the release (regardless if the module has been modified between releases).

It is the same on Linux.
