APXS
Once mod_so
has been compiled in (see
later), the necessary hooks for a shared object can be inserted into
the Apache executable, httpd
, at any time
by using the utility apxs
:
apxs -i -a -c mod_foo.c
This would make it possible to link in
mod_foo
at runtime. For practical details
see the manual page by running man apxs
or
search http://www.apache.org for
“apxs”.
The apxs
utility is only built if you use
the configure
method — see
Section 1.10.1
later in this chapter. Note that if you are running a version of
Apache prior to 1.3.24, have previously configured Apache and now
reconfigure it, you’ll need to remove
src/support/apxs to force a rebuild when you
remake Apache. You will also need to reinstall Apache. If you do not
do all this, things that use apxs
may
mysteriously fail.
