My main problem is that I am unable to get apache to recognize and load our module.Our module is a pretty large module spanning many files and comprising of a number of shared objects. My initial try was to generate each of the .so separately, combine them into one single shared object and then use the DSO feature (--activate-module/--enable-shared) to add that shared object as a module. Apache configures fine with the above directive, makes fine, and installs fine. It even goes through the LoadModule and AddHandler directives in httpd.conf [though I dont know what to put for AddModule directive as there is no single file to name there]. However, when I try to access a file extension that our module handles, apache returns the error (for a handler called srch_handler which is in our module): httpd: [Thu Mar 11 14:35:42 1999] [warn] [client 209.19.61.133] handler "srch_handler" not found for: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/advanced.srch This indicates that our module was never loaded. I am unable to get it to load despite my best efforts. I would appreciate some pointers/tips/etc to get large modules to link and load with apache properly. Thanks, Vijay >How-To-Repeat: Take any large module. What is unclear is what directives to use with what settings to load modules properly. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
