[users@httpd] writing modules?
Morning,
I would like to make my own apache module (in C) for Linux but have no
idea where to start. Any guides on doing this?
Thanks!

Don't forget the modules in the source distribution, particularly the examples.
httpd 2.2.x has modules/experimental/mod_example. httpd trunk/2.3.x,
for future httpd 2.4, has improvements in modules/examples/mod*.c, but
some use APIs that don't work in httpd 2.2.x.
One way to use the large set of modules in the source distribution is
when some httpd (ap_) or APR function looks like it may solve a
problem; search for the uses of that function throughout the source.

I'd read some books:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apache-Modules-Book-Application-Development/dp/0132409674/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259852319&sr=8-1
or
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Writing-Apache-Modules-Perl-Customizing/dp/156592567X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259852319&sr=8-2
if you still use apache 1.3.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apache-Definitive-Guide-Ben-Laurie/dp/0596002033/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259852319&sr=8-6
is ok, but doesn't really go in-depth about module development.
Cheers
Tom

with Perl and C...

Harsh, thats one of my favourite books :/
The Apaloosa book (Apache : The definitive guide) has 2 chapters on
2.x module development and API, numbering ~ 100 pages, which isn't
much more than the Eagle had - like you said, mostly perl.

No, O'Reilly doesn't have any books on the subject at all. The only
book on the subject is Nick Kew's book.
If you're referring to the Eagle book, please note that it's ten years
old and focuses primarily on Perl. It was a good book at the time, but
is now mostly a bookend. At 700 pages, it plays that role effectively
and attractively.

I assume you are developing for Apache 2?
You might want to do some searching and reading on Apache modules API:
http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Apache-Overview-HOWTO-12.html
http://modules.apache.org/doc/Intro_API_Prog.html
As well as other 'house keeping' activities that must be done:
http://threebit.net/tutorials/apache2_modules/tut1/tutorial1.html
O'Reiley has some pretty good books detailing the process....
