writing my first own module - can't determine bootstrap symbol name; undefined API module structure

[oneat <oneat@xxxxx>]

Hi.

I'm writing my first module in c++ for apache and this is its code in mod_cpp.cpp file: 

 

module AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA  cpp_module =

{

    STANDARD20_MODULE_STUFF,

    NULL,

    NULL,

    NULL,

    NULL,

    NULL,

    register_hooks   

};

 

static int handle(request_rec *r){

 

ap_set_content_type(r, "text/html");

ap_rprintf(r, r->filename);

 

}

 

static void register_hooks(apr_pool_t *pool)

{

    /* Create a hook in the request handler, so we get called when a request arrives */

    ap_hook_handler(handle, NULL, NULL, APR_HOOK_LAST);

}

 

However when I try to compile it install and actibvate by apxs -i -a -c mod_cpp.cpp I get:

[oneat@localhost ~]$ sudo apxs -iac  mod_cpp.cpp

/usr/lib/apr-1/build/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now   -o mod_cpp.la  -rpath /usr/lib/httpd/modules -module -avoid-version    mod_cpp.cpp

apxs:Error: Sorry, cannot determine bootstrap symbol name.

apxs:Error: Please specify one with option `-n'.

 

then I tried

sudo apxs -iac -n cpp mod_cpp.cpp

and everything went well, but when I try to start apache I get:

httpd: Syntax error on line 55 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Can't locate API module structure `cpp_module' in file /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_cpp.so: /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_cpp.so: undefined symbol: cpp_module

Any ideas why?
