Thankyou Pierre ! That helped a lot !!
You are right, the book instructions are for Apache 1.3x. I could compile and install my example mod. I have a question though. As per the instructions, I could compile and install properly, but how do I see the output on my browser? I did the following: 1. # apxs -g -n foo 2. # cd foo 3. # apxs -c mod_foo.c 4. # apxs -i -a -n "foo" mod_foo.la 5. # apachectl restart 6. # http://173.17.15.1/ -> shows me the "It works" page 7. # http://173.17.15.1/foo & http://173.17.15.1/foo_module -> none of this works. I also tried adding following to <Location /foo> SetHandler foo_handler </Location> Am I missing something here ?

If you don't need a static module take a look to the apxs script (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/de/programs/apxs.html <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/de/programs/apxs.html> ) otherwise check a shipped module as a reference. Note that also the API has changed to Apache 2.x..

So any help would be very much appreciated. I am referring the book "Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C" by Lincoln Stein & Doug MacEachern and I am trying to write a module in C. In the book, it is mentioned to use the following to get the new module activated: % ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/site/mod_hello.c \ --enable-module=hello I get the following error: configure: error: unrecognized option: --activate-module=src/modules/site/mod_hello.c Try `./configure --help' for more information. On trying ./configure -help, I did not find the option "--activate-module" I am working on version Apache/2.2.11. I tried searching on net and in the archives of this mailing list (http://marc.info/?l=apache-modules <http://marc.info/?l=apache-modules> ), but could not find any answer. Thanks in advance, Shibu Narendranathan.
