Now that I have the Apache13-FP port updated to the latest version and
building a package, I'll be working on the mod_frontpage port Sat/Sun.
Could yousend me your latest Apache ports so that I can be sure that it
operates properly with the mod_frontpage port.
Q. How are you handling the custom settings for each ports httpd.conf? Are
you putting them into <IfDefine port>...</IfDefine>?
Or does APXS put the appropriate LoadModule/AddModule entries in the
httpd.conf when the port gets installed?
I have a patch for apachectl that allows you to define which ports modules
you want to use.
i.e. apachectl start_FP_SSL_PHP3
apachectl will then start the server with "httpd -DFP -DSSL -DPHP3".
I was also thinking of fixing the apache Makefile so that it would use an
external Ports Config file:
apache.ports:
frontpage FP
ssl SSL
php PHP3
php4 PHP4
jserv JSERV
This way we wouldn't have to patch the main apache port's Makefile for each
new module port that gets submitted.
It would use this file to create the appropriate LoadModule/AddModule
<IfDefine port>..</IfDefine> entries in the httpd.conf-dist file.
This file could also be used by the apache.sh script to determine which
modules exist on the system and to configure apache to use them.
