For simple modules, you can use example 4 here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/dso.html#usage to install using apxs. But you are correct in being skeptical about that technique in this case, since all the modules you talk about are complicated and require sub-modules or libraries. You are much better off recompiling the whole server. But this should be relatively easy. Just follow the upgrading instructions here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/install.html#upgrading Joshua. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
