1. Have you seen mod_vhost_dbi?
I need to combine some information from an external configuration file with
those from mysql. Can this module do the non-sql part too?
2. The normal way to access mysql is through mod_dbd.
This would be ideal for my situation. However, as I am still new in module
development it doesnt look intuitive to me right now after skimming through
chapter 11 of your new book.
Having said that, it's not clear whether either of those
is actually relevant to you.
Mysql
database access information will be set with configuration
directives. My question is: 1. Is ap_hook_post_config(apr_pool_t *p,
apr_pool_t *plog, apr_pool_t *ptemp, server_rec *s) the right place
to load the table?
Yes, probably.
2. If it is, how can the hook functions access the
data after it is loaded presumably in apr_pool_t *p?
Store it on your module's server config.
the server_rec doesnt have a pool field. which field can I use to store the
data? Does every child process have an instance of this structure instead of
the parent process?
Thanks,
