38 <h2><a name="Description" id="Description">Description</a></h2>
40 <p>A brief description of the purpose of the module.</p>
41 </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
43 <h2><a name="Status" id="Status">Status</a></h2>
45 <p>This indicates how tightly bound into the Apache Web server
46 the module is; in other words, you may need to recompile the
47 server in order to gain access to the module and its
48 functionality. Possible values for this attribute are:</p>
53 <dd>A module with status "MPM" is a <a href="../mpm.html">Multi-Processing Module</a>. Unlike the
54 other types of modules, Apache must have one and only one MPM
55 in use at any time. This type of module is responsible for
56 basic request handling and dispatching.</dd>
60 <dd>A module labeled as having "Base" status is compiled and
61 loaded into the server by default, and is therefore normally
62 available unless you have taken steps to remove the module
63 from your configuration.</dd>
67 <dd>A module with "Extension" status is not normally compiled
68 and loaded into the server. To enable the module and its
69 functionality, you may need to change the server build
70 configuration files and re-compile Apache.</dd>
74 <dd>"Experimental" status indicates that the module is
75 available as part of the Apache kit, but you are on your own
76 if you try to use it. The module is being documented for
77 completeness, and is not necessarily supported.</dd>
81 <dd>Modules which are not included with the base Apache
82 distribution ("third-party modules") may use the "External"
83 status. We are not responsible for, nor do we support such
86 </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
88 <h2><a name="SourceFile" id="SourceFile">Source File</a></h2>
90 <p>This quite simply lists the name of the source file which
91 contains the code for the module. This is also the name used by
92 the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#ifmodule"><IfModule></a></code>
94 </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
96 <h2><a name="ModuleIdentifier" id="ModuleIdentifier">Module Identifier</a></h2>
98 <p>This is a string which identifies the module for use in the
99 <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</a></code> directive when
100 dynamically loading modules. In particular, it is the name of
101 the external variable of type module in the source file.</p>
102 </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
103 <div class="section">
104 <h2><a name="Compatibility" id="Compatibility">Compatibility</a></h2>
106 <p>If the module was not part of the original Apache version 2
107 distribution, the version in which it was introduced should be
108 listed here. In addition, if the module is limited to
109 particular platforms, the details will be listed here.</p>
