How to compile Apache modules as shared objects

[alayaho]

Hi everyone,

I have installed Apache onto a Linux machine and it is running fine. It was a standard installation using "configure --prefix=/

http://www --enable-module=so".

However I now want to add the module mod_auth_digest to Apache.

I can add the module by doing a custom installation when I enable the module in the src/Configuration file and recompile using "Configure", "make" and "make install".

The problem is when I do this, my prefix and shared object settings are lost.

How and where do I set the prefix and shared objects options if use this method?

Also, how can I compile a module into a shared object that can be added to Apache without recompiling the whole server?

Thanks!!!
