If you have downloaded a third-party module that isn’t listed in this chapter, and you want to install it, move to the directory where the module’s source file was unpacked, and then:
%/path/to/apache/bin/apxs -ciamodule.c
In the case of a third-party module that consists of a single
.c file, there is a good chance
that it can be built and installed using the Solution. Modules that
involve multiple source files should provide their own installation
instructions.
The -cia options mean to
compile, install, and activate. The first is pretty straightforward;
install means put the .so file in
the place Apache expects to find it; and activate means to add the
module to the httpd.conf
file.
