[gentoo-user] loading the Apache manual
don james
I am trying to run the Apache manual with Apache2.
What is the syntax of the "APACHE_OPTS=" command in /etc/conf.d/apache2
I am new to gentoo, but not new to Unix.
Please tell me where to go to get an answer
Sincerely,
Don

Syntax is "-D module_to_load"
ie:
APACHE_OPTS="-D php4 -D ssl"
Nothing to do with the manual though...this is gentoo specific (afaik). The
manual is available at http://localhost/manual/ by default...perhaps it is
only installed with "doc" use flag though, I am not sure.

This is a generally-available feature of all installed Apaches, but
it depends more on how Apache is configured. What "-D php4" does
is define a variable "php4" during startup. The configuration file
for Apache would then say:
<IfDefined php4>
... load php4 module and do php4-related stuff here ...
</IfDefined>
You are free to use any defines you want and use <IfDefined> in
any way you see fit to alter the Apache startup procedure.
A bit off-topic, but it's snowing in Boston and I'm feelin all
Christmas-y and stuff ...

Thanks for the clarification...I always thought it was a gentoo hack, so you
learn something new everyday...

Geez, I'm in Penticton BC, in fricken 'Canada' and it was 10 degrees today!
(not sure what that is in degrees F) In fact it rained at the ski hill the
other day...the entire hill is now a useless pile of crusty/crunchy crud!
Green christmas for us...

Yup, same here. Since we're going to be spending Christmas just south of
Edmonton, Alberta, I'm sure I'll get all the white to make up for it <G>

You poor folks! It's summer, about 30C (might get a bit higher today), blue
sky. The day is just asking for a couple of cold beers. ;-)
