How do I compile an additional module (mod_cache)?

on UltraSPARC Solaris 9

[iwan1981]

Hi,

I am trying to set up a reverse proxy on apache and make that work with Outlook Web Access 2003.

I got Apache compiled including the modules that I needed according to THIS [3cx.org] document.

But I think I need an other apache module allso.
This "mod_cache" module ...but I don't know how I install this...

I compiled apache from source on a ULTRASPARC (Solaris 9) box.

These where my commands:

#./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-mods-shared=all --enable-ssl=shared --enable-ssl --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-connect --enable-proxy-http [B]--enable-mod_cache[/B] --with-ssl=/opt/csw/ssl
#make
#make install

But I still can't find the module in the /modules folder.

Can someone help me here?
I am a little bit a n00b @ this ...

Thanks,

iwan1981,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

I'm assuming you are working with Apache 2.x. In this case, on your configure line, you would want to use "--enable-cache", and not "--enable-mod_cache". This can be confusing, as configure does not warn you if the module does not exist.

You can find some more information on the Apache website at [httpd.apache.org ], specifically under the "Configuring the source tree" section.

thanks ChadSEO,

I found this:

--enable-cache 
Enable dynamic file caching provided by mod_cache. This experimental module may be interesting for servers with high load or caching proxy servers. At least one storage management module (e.g. mod_disk_cache or mod_mem_cache) is also necessary. 

in this part:
[httpd.apache.org...]

so I am going to recompile now and install it again ...see if I will get my module.

Thanks,

Hi, sorry to be opening up this old thread, but I use WHM/Cpanel and I would like to install mod_cache. Is there a way to find out what modules are currently installed, and then also include them in the "./configure" file? Thanks!
