This will only work if the architecture is exactly the same and the two apache's have compatible binary interfaces (in general, that means the first two parts of the version number must be the same). If all that is true, it will probably work. But you could also just use apxs as described in the fourth example here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/dso.html#usage Joshua. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
