There are two common methods you can use to build dynamic modules: Apache extension tool (apxs) and module-provided configuration scripts.
# /usr/IBMIHS/bin/apxs -ci mod_example.c
To use the apxs tool, verify that Perl V5.003 or later is installed and that the path to the Perl executable on the first line of apxs is correct. See Apache APXS for more information.
The configuration scripts for some modules check specifically for the use of Apache HTTP Server and will not work properly with IBM HTTP Server. In that case, install Apache V2.0.47 and build the module for Apache V2.0.47, then use the resulting dynamic module (mod_example.so) with IBM HTTP Server.
IBM HTTP Server customers occasionally try to use third-party modules which do not build or run properly on their platform with either Apache HTTP Server or IBM HTTP Server. Whenever there are build or run-time concerns with third-party modules, first verify that it builds and operates properly with Apache HTTP Server on the same machine. If problems are encountered with Apache HTTP Server, the module cannot be expected to work with IBM HTTP Server.
