Compilation with httpd

Configuration to compile mod_proxy when httpd is compiled from scratch:

./configure ... \
  ...
  --enable-so \
  --enable-proxy=shared \ 
  --enable-proxy-connect=shared \
  --enable-proxy-http=shared \
  --enable-proxy-ajp=shared \
  --enable-proxy-balancer=shared \

Note that the modules can also be statically compiled, by specifying simply "--enable-proxy", ... (not recommended).

Compilation for an Already Installed httpd Instance

In order to compile and install on an already installed httpd instance:

• Check out/download the corresponding source tree.
• Locate the httpd instance you want to install the module into. Assuming that is located at ${APACHE_HOME}:

cd ${SRC_DIR}
${APACHE_HOME}/bin/apxs -a -i -c ./modules/proxy/mod_proxy.c ./modules/proxy/proxy_util.c
