apxs - APache eXtenSion tool apxs is a tool for building and installing extension modules for the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. This is achieved by building a dynamic shared object (DSO) from one or more source or object files which then can be loaded into the Apache server under runtime via the LoadModule directive from mod_so. So to use this extension mechanism your platform has to support the DSO feature and your Apache httpd binary has to be built with the mod_so module

Starting Apache On Windows, Apache is normally run as a service. For details, see Running Apache as a Service. On Unix, the httpd program is run as a daemon that executes continuously in the background to handle requests. This document describes how to invoke httpd. How Apache Starts If the Listen specified in the configuration file is default of 80 (or any other port below 1024), then it is necessary to have root privileges in order to start apache, so that it can bind to this privileged

Apache Module mod_proxy_ftp Description: FTP support module for mod_proxy Status: Extension ModuleIdentifier: proxy_ftp_module SourceFile: mod_proxy_ftp.c Summary This module requires the service of mod_proxy. It provides support for the proxying FTP sites. Note that FTP support is currently limited to the GET method.

Compiling and Installing This document covers compilation and installation of the Apache HTTP Server on Unix and Unix-like systems only. For compiling and installation on Windows, see Using Apache HTTP Server with Microsoft Windows and Compiling Apache for Microsoft Windows. For other platforms, see the platform documentation. Apache httpd uses libtool and autoconf to create a build environment that looks like many other Open Source projects. If you are upgrading from one minor version to the
