Installation of mod_backhand
Download the usual gzipped tarball from http://www.backhand.org/mod_backhand/download/mod_backhand.tar.gz. Surprisingly, it is less than 100KB long and arrives in a flash. Make it a source directory next to Apache’s — we put it in /usr/wrc.mod_backhand. Ungzipping and detarring produces a subdirectory — /usr/wrc.mod_backhand/mod_backhand-1.0.1 with the usual source files in it.
The module is so simple it does not need the paraphernalia of configuration files. Just make sure you have a path to the Apache directory by running ls:
ls ../../apache/apache_x.x.x
When it shows the contents of the Apache directory, turn it into:
./precompile ../../apache/apache_x.x.x
This will produce a commentary on the reconfiguration of Apache:
Copying source into apache tree... Copying sample cgi script and logo into htdocs directory... Adding libs to Apache's Configure... Adding to Apache's Configuration.tmpl... Setting extra shared libraries for FreeBSD (-lm) Modifying httpd.conf-dist... Updating Makefile.tmpl... Now change to the apache source directory: ../../apache/apache_1.3.9 And do a ./configure... If you want to enable backhand (why would you have done this if you didn't?) then add: --enable-module=backhand --enable-shared=backhand to your apache configure command. For example, I use: ./configure --prefix=/var/backhand --enable-module=so \ --enable-module=rewrite --enable-shared=rewrite \ --enable-module=speling --enable-shared=speling \ --enable-module=info --enable-shared=info ...
