Enabling mod_headers?

You will have to recompile Apache.

Nick, if you read this, maybe you could include it in the next buildapache release.

 

heres a simple way

Hi
I was trying to add mod_headers to my apache but could not get any help here.
I did a lot of reasearcha and found a simple way which does not require recompiling apache.


$:cd /home/cpapachebuild/buildapache/apache_1.3.29/src/modules/standard
$: /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -c mod_headers.c
$:/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -i -a -n headers mod_headers.so

this will compile and add the header to the apache along with adding the lines to httpd.conf

check httpd.conf by running
httpd configtest
If everything is fine
restart httpd by giving the command
thats it! Now mod_headers will work with your apache.

Generic Approach to add modules
Generic Instructions
Build and install a third-party Apache module, say mod_foo.c, into its own DSO mod_foo.so outside of the Apache source tree:
Build and install via apxs: $ cd /path/to/3rdparty
$ apxs -c mod_foo.c
$ apxs -i -a -n foo mod_foo.so

 

Hi sanket,

Thanks for posting your information on this.

I'm trying to do the same, only I have no "apache_1.3.29" directory in the "buildapache" tree. Instead, I have this:

Any ideas to where this pesky mod_headers.c and .so files might otherwise be?

Hi
basically the folder
src/modules/standard

represents the source files of your apache build.
Sp u need to find out where the apache source is stored on ur server

if you are using cpanel uit will generally be

/home/cpapachebuild/buildapache/apache_1.3.xx/src/modules/standard


Once you find the apache source files you van use the method described by me.

Hope that helps

Regards
Sanket Gupta

ok, i had the same problem with the apache folder not showing up either. so to fix it, you'll have to restart apache.

but goto the Apache Update page in WHM, hit the "Load Previous Config" button, then scroll down to the bottom, and uncheck "Skip Apache Build if up to date"

then "Start Build" after everything recompiles and everything, your server should be compiled just as it was last time with apache update, but it will now have the source folder in the spot stated from before
