[users@httpd] Don't know if the configure options contradict
Hi,
I am given a list of configuration options using which we need to build apache. I want to know if the following two options contradict.
--enable-mods-shared=all
--enable-modules=all
I also don't know the meaning of linking modules statically. Please help or point to places where I could get more info.
Appreciate your time,
Thanks & Regards,
-GnanaShekar-

I was referring to a situation where you would have more than 1 binary
running...
In which case the footprint would be lower.
Should have been more clear on that.

The memory footprint will not be lower. Apache processes can share
certain parts of memory between processes regardless of whether shared
modules are used.
The only benefit of shared modules (and it's a big one) is being able
to easily add, subtract, or replace modules without needing to
recompile the whole server.

Which leads to a lower memory footprint for each apache process but a
slower startup time
as symbols are resolved at process start rather than at compile time.

afair this will result in most modules beeing linked dynamically. but i'm
not sure if it will work, just give it a try ;-).
the difference between static and dynamic linking is the following:
statically linked modules will be part of the httpd executeable, everything
is in one single file. the linking is done at compiletime.
dynamic linking means that a single file is created for every module, a so
file in linux/unix or a dll in windows. when starting the httpd executeable
it will try to find the other files an load them. this way you can update
and/or add modules without having to rebuild the whole server.
