[users@httpd] (newbie) adding DSO's after installation

["Mazza, Glen R., ,CPMS" <gl...@cpms.osd.mil>]

Hello,

Newbie here.

1.  I compiled the Apache 2.0.48 binary with just the enable-so module
brought in,
thinking that DSO's, when needed, can be added in later.  But do I need to 
recompile Apache everytime I want to add in new modules, even if used as a
DSO?

2.  If (1) above is "yes", I believe we're supposed to untar the Apache2
tarball again, and use a new build directory, rather than build a second
time
(./configure, make, make install) from the build directory used in the
previous
compile, correct?  (I know I can still reuse and modify the config.nice to
the new build
directory, as explained here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/install.html#upgrading.)

Thanks,
Glen

You do not have to recompile apache.  The apache docs on DSO can be a bit
confusing on this point.  What you do have to keep in mind is that when you
compile new versions of apache, it's a good idea to recompile your shared
modules with the new apache build and not just copying over the mod_***.so
file.

Yes, it's a good idea to use differnet build directories when compiling new
and diferent apache versions.
