Terms Used to Describe Apache Modules

+ +

+ Each Apache module is described using a common format that looks + like this: +

Status: status +
+ Source File: source-file +
+ Module Identifier: module-identifier +
+ Compatibility: compatibility notes +

+ +

+ Each of the attributes, complete with values where possible, are + described in this document. +

Compatibility +

+ +

Status

+ 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: +

Base +: 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. +
+
+
Extension +: 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. +
+
+
Experimental +: "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. +
+
+
External +: 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. +
+
+

+ +

Source File

+ 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 <IfModule> + directive. +

+ +

Module Identifier

+ This is a string which identifies the module for use in the LoadModule directive when + dynamically loading modules. In particular, it is the name + of the external variable of type module in the source file. +

+ +

Compatibility

+ If the module was not part of the original Apache version 2 + distribution, the version in which it was introduced should be listed + here. +
