14.7. Adding Modules to Your Server

in your own modules. DSO support also means modules are dynamically loaded at runtime only as

necessary, conserving memory resources on the server.

The Apache Group provides complete DSO Documentation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs 

2.0/dso.html. After installation

of the

http manual

package,

you can also check

http://localhost/manual/mod/ for documentation on Apache modules.

For the Apache HTTP Server to use a dynamically shared module, that module must have a
