share [g+] share [fb]

I have an operational and compiled from source Apache installation with shared modules enabled.

I now want to use mod_proxy but at the time I built my Apache server I didn't know I would need this and I didn't specify --enable-mod_proxy=shared and --enable-mod_proxy_http=shared when I ran ./configure.

On this page it suggests that I can do:

$ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/install --enable-foo=shared
$ make install

Will this only build the module specified and install it to the --prefix path, or will it rebuild all of Apache and redeploy that too?

Wow, people are still building things like this from source? What distro are you using? – Tom O'Connor Nov 7 '11 at 0:57
@TomO'Connor - CentOS 5/6 but our builds are somewhat customised for our particular environment. – Kev Nov 7 '11 at 1:05

It seems that mod_proxy/mod_proxy_http compiles with apxs works just fine:

apxs -i -c mod_proxy.c proxy_util.c
apxs -i -c mod_proxy_http.c

+1 for APXS.... – Tom O'Connor Nov 7 '11 at 16:39
@TomO'Connor - thanks :), don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place. – Kev Nov 7 '11 at 16:48
