Slightly myopic perspective, obviously a linux-user comment ;-) Several linux derivatives require all loadable modules to be executable to be loaded as code pages. Sensible thing, eh ;-? Examples include AIX, HPUX etc. > This is also something that is in the apxs code around line 488. Of > course, the apxs2 on my debian machine does chmod 644. Well, there's no harm (no benefit I can identify, either) if a vendor on linux makes this tweak. None of this has anything to do with the missing symbol, I expect. Which symbol is missing, is this your fancy_module data symbol? You probably didn't ensure that the apache2 module structure to be declared in a C namespace as an export. My mod_aspdotnet is one such example, http://mod-aspdotnet.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mod-aspdotnet/mod_aspdotnet/trunk/mod/mod_aspdotnet.cpp?revision=175&view=markup Althought this c++ module for MS compilation has a bunch of .NET'isms, this particular fragment shouldn't change; extern "C" { extern module AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA aspdotnet_module; } module AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA ::aspdotnet_module = { STANDARD20_MODULE_STUFF, create_asp_net_dirconf, /* dir config */ merge_asp_net_dirconf, /* merge dir config */ create_asp_net_srvconf, /* server config */ merge_asp_net_srvconf, /* merge server config */ asp_net_cmds, /* command apr_table_t */ register_hooks /* register hooks */ }; Bill
