[users@httpd] configure --enable-modules=all doesn't
Apache 2.0.43, red hat 8.0, (gnu/linux-i386 2.4.18-14smp).
After unpacking the 2.0.43 distribution tarball, I did
configure --enable-modules=all --with-layout=Apache
and was surprised that this did not actually enable all (at least
non-experimental) modules. Same results with --enable-mods-shared=all.
I can see how it's desirable not to enable absolutely all modules; for
instance, choosing only one of cgi or cgid according to the mpm, only
including isapi under windows, suexec has potential security issues if
misconfigured, etc.
The modules I was surprised to find lacking from `all' were
deflate, cache, ext_filter, proxy, ssl, usertrack.
I looked at the documentation, searched google and the mailing list,
poked a bit at the source, but couldn't find any explanation. So I'm
asking the list before reporting a bug, as the apache web page tells me to.
I already forged ahead by explicitly specifying --enable-ssl etc. to
configure, so that's fine. This message is just to see if there's some
obvious explanation that I'm missing as to why the above modules weren't
included in --enable-modules=all. Any information appreciated.
Thanks,

Karl,
Look in /etc/httpd/conf.d you might find those missing module configs.
Also if you look at the httpd.conf file you should see an include
directive that looks
like this Include conf.d/*.conf just above your LoadModules configuration.
hope this helps
