Questions and Answers about modules not provided with IBM HTTP Server
What do I need to know about using apxs provided by IBM HTTP Server
Why might a particular third-party module not build correctly with IHS?
IBM does not provide support for building third party modules, but the regular facilities used to build Apache modules
are not restricted in any way. Some potential pitfalls in third party modules:
- The module interprets the IHS version string incorrectly, it might make some incorrect choices.
- The module tries to invoke "httpd" under the server root, instead of apachectl.
- The module may provide conflicting compiler flags instead of relying on apxs, causing a mismatch in the size
of various data structures (e.g. a module that enables large file support)
- The module may not be fully tested on the particular platform you're using, at all or some releases of the module
