Recompiling Redhat Apache

Hi!

Well you do that with this parameters to configure:
--enable-mods-shared=all

That will make all moudules shared, so you can load/unload them just like with the readhat package.

But instead of doing it lke this I'd recomend you to do this.
Download apache2-x.x.x.src.rpm.
do rpm -ivh apache2-source
Now go to /usr/src/redhat
edit the apache2.spec under the SPECS dir.
Add the suexec parameters.

rpmbuild -bs SPECS/apache2.spec
Now check under the SRPMS dir, you should have a new source rpm there.

rpmbuild --rebuild SRPMS/nya_apache_source.rpm

Check under RPMS dir, if no errors you have a new RPM there.
just do:rpm -ivh RPMS/apche2-x.x.x.i386.rpm

This way you'll have an easier time if you later want to upgrade apache.
