<h1 align="CENTER">Terms Used to Describe Apache Modules</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each Apache module is described using a common format that
|
|
looks like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dd><a href="#Status" rel="Help"><strong>Status:</strong></a>
|
|
<em>status</em><br />
|
|
<a href="#SourceFile" rel="Help"><strong>Source
|
|
File:</strong></a> <em>source-file</em><br />
|
|
<a href="#ModuleIdentifier" rel="Help"><strong>Module
|
|
Identifier:</strong></a> <em>module-identifier</em><br />
|
|
<a href="#Compatibility"
|
|
rel="Help"><strong>Compatibility:</strong></a>
|
|
<em>compatibility notes</em></dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each of the attributes, complete with values where possible,
|
|
are described in this document.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Module Terms</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="#Status">Status</a></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="#SourceFile">Source File</a></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="#ModuleIdentifier">Module Identifier</a></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="#Compatibility">Compatibility</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
|
|
<h2><a id="Status" name="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><strong>MPM</strong></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><strong>Base</strong></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><strong>Extension</strong></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><strong>Experimental</strong></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><strong>External</strong></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>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
|
|
<h2><a id="SourceFile" name="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 <a
|
|
href="core.html#ifmodule"><code><IfModule></code></a>
|
|
directive.</p>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
|
|
<h2><a id="ModuleIdentifier" name="ModuleIdentifier">Module
|
|
Identifier</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is a string which identifies the module for use in the
|
|
<a href="mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</a> directive when
|
|
dynamically loading modules. In particular, it is the name of
|
|
the external variable of type module in the source file.</p>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
|
|
<h2><a id="Compatibility"
|
|
name="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.</p>
