<title>Terms Used to Describe Modules</title>
|
|
|
|
<summary>
|
|
<p>This document describes the terms that are used to describe
|
|
each Apache <a href="./">module</a>.</p>
|
|
</summary>
|
|
|
|
<section id="Description"><title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>A brief description of the purpose of the module.</p>
|
|
</section>
|
|
|
|
<section id="Status"><title>Status</title>
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
</section>
|
|
|
|
<section id="SourceFile"><title>Source File</title>
|
|
|
|
<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 <directive module="core" type="section">IfModule</directive>
|
|
directive.</p>
|
|
</section>
|
|
|
|
<section id="ModuleIdentifier"><title>Module Identifier</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is a string which identifies the module for use in the
|
|
<directive module="mod_so">LoadModule</directive> directive when
|
|
dynamically loading modules. In particular, it is the name of
|
|
the external variable of type module in the source file.</p>
|
|
</section>
|
|
|
|
<section id="Compatibility"><title>Compatibility</title>
|
|
|
|
<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>
