[users@httpd] IfModule behavior inside VirtualHost stanza
I'm running Apache 2.2.3-31 on RHEL 5.4 and am running into an issue
with using an <IfModule> block inside of a VirtualHost stanza. If my
VirtualHosts are defined in my main config file
(/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) the IfModule test works fine. However, I
prefer to store VirtualHost configuration in
/etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.conf - by simply moving the config from the
main file to the vhosts.conf file the behavior of the IfModule
changes.
Specifically I'm trying to test the presence of the jrun_module, like so:
LoadModule jrun_module /opt/jrun4/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun22.so
<VirtualHost>
:
<IfModule mod_jrun22.c>
# JRun Settings
JRunConfig Verbose false
JRunConfig Apialloc false
JRunConfig Serverstore
/opt/jrun4/lib/wsconfig/2/jrunserver.store
JRunConfig Bootstrap 127.0.0.1:51000
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
When the VirtualHost definition above appears in the main config file
the IfModule test returns true. If I leave the LoadModule in the main
config and move the VirtualHost definition to
/etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.conf the IfModule test fails for some reason.
Testing a different module such as mod_alias succeeds as expected.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Seth

Well I'm basically carrying on a practice that was started by the JRun
web server connector tool that is using IfModule to prevent total
Apache startup failure if for some reason JRun/ColdFusion were to get
misconfigured or uninstalled.
In any case you were exactly right - the web server connector placed
the LoadModule directive for the jrun_module below the Include
directive for the conf.d/* directory. Moving it higher in the config
allowed the IfModule test in my separate vhosts.conf file to succeed.
Thanks for the help.

1. Why are you using <IfModule> ? Unless you're constructing a
distribution whose management tools rely on it, there's absolutely
no reason to use it.
2. What you describe may depend on lexical order. Nothing more.
