| <h2><a name="Description" id="Description">Description</a></h2> |
| |
| <p>A brief description of the purpose of the module.</p> |
| </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h2><a name="Status" id="Status">Status</a></h2> |
| |
| <p>This indicates how tightly bound into the Apache Web server |
| the module is; in other words, you may need to recompile the |
| server in order to gain access to the module and its |
| functionality. Possible values for this attribute are:</p> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt>MPM</dt> |
| |
| <dd>A module with status "MPM" is a <a href="../mpm.html">Multi-Processing Module</a>. Unlike the |
| other types of modules, Apache must have one and only one MPM |
| in use at any time. This type of module is responsible for |
| basic request handling and dispatching.</dd> |
| |
| <dt>Base</dt> |
| |
| <dd>A module labeled as having "Base" status is compiled and |
| loaded into the server by default, and is therefore normally |
| available unless you have taken steps to remove the module |
| from your configuration.</dd> |
| |
| <dt>Extension</dt> |
| |
| <dd>A module with "Extension" status is not normally compiled |
| and loaded into the server. To enable the module and its |
| functionality, you may need to change the server build |
| configuration files and re-compile Apache.</dd> |
| |
| <dt>Experimental</dt> |
| |
| <dd>"Experimental" status indicates that the module is |
| available as part of the Apache kit, but you are on your own |
| if you try to use it. The module is being documented for |
| completeness, and is not necessarily supported.</dd> |
| |
| <dt>External</dt> |
| |
| <dd>Modules which are not included with the base Apache |
| distribution ("third-party modules") may use the "External" |
| status. We are not responsible for, nor do we support such |
| modules.</dd> |
| </dl> |
| </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h2><a name="SourceFile" id="SourceFile">Source File</a></h2> |
| |
| <p>This quite simply lists the name of the source file which |
| contains the code for the module. This is also the name used by |
| the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#ifmodule"><IfModule></a></code> |
| directive.</p> |
| </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h2><a name="ModuleIdentifier" id="ModuleIdentifier">Module Identifier</a></h2> |
| |
| <p>This is a string which identifies the module for use in the |
| <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</a></code> directive when |
| dynamically loading modules. In particular, it is the name of |
| the external variable of type module in the source file.</p> |
| </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h2><a name="Compatibility" id="Compatibility">Compatibility</a></h2> |
| |
| <p>If the module was not part of the original Apache version 2 |
| distribution, the version in which it was introduced should be |
| listed here. In addition, if the module is limited to |
| particular platforms, the details will be listed here.</p> |
