- modules use the following options:</p>
+ <section id="mpms"><title>Multi-Processing Modules</title>
+ <p><a href="../mpm.html">Multi-Processing Modules</a>, or MPMs, implement
+ the basic behavior of the server. A single MPM must be active in order
+ for the server to function. The list of available MPMs appears on the
+ <a href="../mod/">module index page</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>MPMs can be built as DSOs for dynamic loading or statically linked with
+ the server, and are enabled using the following options:</p>
+
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>--with-mpm=MPM</code></dt>
+ <dd>
+ <p>Choose the default MPM for your server. If MPMs are built as DSO
+ modules (see <code>--enable-mpms-shared</code>), this directive
+ selects the MPM which will be loaded in the default configuration
+ file. Otherwise, this directive selects the only available MPM,
+ which will be statically linked into the server.</p>
+ <p>If this option is omitted, the <a href="../mpm.html#defaults">default
+ MPM</a> for your operating system will be used.</p>
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt><code>--enable-mpms-shared=<var>MPM-LIST</var></code></dt>
+ <dd>
+ <p>Enable a list of MPMs as dynamic shared modules. One of these
+ modules must be loaded dynamically using the
+ <directive module="mod_so">LoadModule</directive> directive.</p>
+ <p><var>MPM-LIST</var> is a space-separated list of MPM names
+ enclosed by quotation marks. For example:</p>
+ <example>
+ --enable-mpms-shared='prefork worker'
+ </example>
+ <p>Additionally you can use the special keyword <code>all</code>,
+ which will select all MPMs which support dynamic loading on the
+ current platform and build them as DSO modules. For example:</p>
+ <example>
+ --enable-mpms-shared=all
+ </example>
