I have apache2 on OSX with the following
httpd -V
Server version: Apache/2.2.3
Server built: Nov 27 2006 20:51:56
Server's Module Magic Number: 20051115:3
Server loaded: APR 1.2.7, APR-Util 1.2.7
Compiled using: APR 1.2.7, APR-Util 1.2.7
Architecture: 32-bit
Server MPM: Prefork
threaded: no
forked: yes (variable process count)
Server compiled with....
-D APACHE_MPM_DIR="server/mpm/prefork"
-D APR_HAS_MMAP
-D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled)
-D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE
-D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE

-D DEFAULT_LOCKFILE="logs/accept.lock"
-D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log"
-D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="conf/mime.types"
-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"
I used the following configuration setup:
./configure --with-mpm=prefork --enable-mods-shared=all --enable-
proxy --enable-rewrite --enable-ssl=/usr/bin/openssl --with-perl=/usr/
bin/perl
As a general rule of thumb I remark any modules that aren't essential
then add as I need them...
Here is the relevant httpd.conf settings:

The only clear question you've asked is the one in the subject

Thanks for the pointer.
I did find http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/programs/apxs.html
which covers the specific mechanics of building a single module. I
guess what I was attempting to ask was for a "fuller" explanation.
I've been a linux admin for several years, and have used apache to
host basic web pages as well as some PHP-based applications with
MySQL back ends. This has typically been on Redhat variants, where
the core apache configuration was really managed by Redhat packagers.
I'm trying to move to OS X, but have had some frustrations. Apple
includes apache 1.3, and since I've been running apache 2.x for a
LONG time, I have no interest in trying to get my applications to
run on that version of apache. I was easily able to download the
apache 2.2.3 code and compile it (naturally, without arcane flags
passed to the configure script, modules don't get built.) Doing
some more research, I was able to get some modules built, but the
examples that I saw did not include all of the modules that I need,
and I'm not sure where to go to find more information.
What's particularly confusing to me is *exactly* which modules I
need. My concern is that I may figure out the stuff I need to
build a particular module, but in my ignorance I'll overlook some
other module that is critical to my success. I'm sure that I don't
need all of the modules included in the Redhat distribution, but
I'm not sure which others I need or what the implications may be of
leaving some out.
Here's a list of the modules loaded in my httpd.conf. Any idea
where I can get more information about whether I care about the
individual modules?

I could google every individual module, and try to figure out what
each does, but really I'm not interested in being an apache guru -
I want to continue to be an apache *user* as I have been for more
than a decade. I was hoping that someone had written a howto which
covers building a "general purpose" apache configuration for
hosting simple web applications.
Finally, here's the reason that I want to build another version of
apache: I get an error when loading large web pages via ssl. What
I'm finding is that if I load pages that have a lot of data (big
photos, or lots of text) Firefox throws the error "Firefox received
a message with incorrect Message Authentication Code. If the error
occurs frequently, contact the website administrator." It's
consistently reproducible and since my web server is behind a
firewall, I'm pretty sure that it's not the million question attack.
Thanks much for any light you can shed on this.
Regards,
Tom
