37 <h2><a name="Description" id="Description">Description</a></h2>

38

39 <p>A brief description of the purpose of the module.</p>

40 </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>

41 <div class="section">

42 <h2><a name="Status" id="Status">Status</a></h2>

43

44 <p>This indicates how tightly bound into the Apache Web server

45 the module is; in other words, you may need to recompile the

46 server in order to gain access to the module and its

47 functionality. Possible values for this attribute are:</p>

48

49 <dl>

50 <dt>MPM</dt>

51

52 <dd>A module with status "MPM" is a <a href="../mpm.html">Multi-Processing Module</a>. Unlike the

53 other types of modules, Apache must have one and only one MPM

54 in use at any time. This type of module is responsible for

55 basic request handling and dispatching.</dd>

56

57 <dt>Base</dt>

58

59 <dd>A module labeled as having "Base" status is compiled and

60 loaded into the server by default, and is therefore normally

61 available unless you have taken steps to remove the module

62 from your configuration.</dd>

63

64 <dt>Extension</dt>

65

66 <dd>A module with "Extension" status is not normally compiled

67 and loaded into the server. To enable the module and its

68 functionality, you may need to change the server build

69 configuration files and re-compile Apache.</dd>

70

71 <dt>Experimental</dt>

72

73 <dd>"Experimental" status indicates that the module is

74 available as part of the Apache kit, but you are on your own

75 if you try to use it. The module is being documented for

76 completeness, and is not necessarily supported.</dd>

77

78 <dt>External</dt>

79

80 <dd>Modules which are not included with the base Apache

81 distribution ("third-party modules") may use the "External"

82 status. We are not responsible for, nor do we support such

83 modules.</dd>

84 </dl>

85 </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>

86 <div class="section">

87 <h2><a name="SourceFile" id="SourceFile">Source File</a></h2>

88

89 <p>This quite simply lists the name of the source file which

90 contains the code for the module. This is also the name used by

91 the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#ifmodule"><IfModule></a></code>

92 directive.</p>

93 </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>

94 <div class="section">

95 <h2><a name="ModuleIdentifier" id="ModuleIdentifier">Module Identifier</a></h2>

96

97 <p>This is a string which identifies the module for use in the

98 <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</a></code> directive when

99 dynamically loading modules. In particular, it is the name of

100 the external variable of type module in the source file.</p>

101 </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>

102 <div class="section">

103 <h2><a name="Compatibility" id="Compatibility">Compatibility</a></h2>

104

105 <p>If the module was not part of the original Apache version 2

106 distribution, the version in which it was introduced should be

107 listed here. In addition, if the module is limited to

108 particular platforms, the details will be listed here.</p>
