20.4.6 Compilation
Apache can be extended by advanced users by writing custom modules. To develop
modules for Apache or compile third-party modules, the package apache2-devel
is required along with the corresponding development tools. apache2-devel also
contains the apxs2 tools, which are necessary for compiling additional modules for
Apache.
apxs2 enables the compilation and installation of modules from source code (including
the required changes to the conguration les), which creates dynamic shared objects
(DSOs) that can be loaded into Apache at runtime.
The apxs2 binaries are located under /usr/sbin:
•
/usr/sbin/apxs2—suitable for building an extension module that works with
any MPM. The installation location is /usr/lib/apache2.
