17 Here you will find config options for the apache packages.
19 SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_SO
20 Enable DSO capability provided by mod_so.
22 The Apache HTTP Server is a modular program where the administrator
23 can choose the functionality to include in the server by selecting a
24 set of modules. The modules can be statically compiled into the httpd
25 binary when the server is built.
26 Alternatively, modules can be compiled as Dynamic Shared Objects (DSOs)
27 that exist separately from the main httpd binary file. DSO modules may
28 be compiled at the time the server is built, or they may be compiled
29 and added at a later time using the Apache Extension Tool (apxs).

35 SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_AUTH_ANON
36 Enable anonymous user access provided by mod_auth_anon.
38 This module does access control in a manner similar to anonymous-ftp
39 sites; i.e. have a 'magic' user id 'anonymous' and the email address
40 as a password. These email addresses can be logged.
42 Combined with other (database) access control methods, this allows for
43 effective user tracking and customization according to a user profile
44 while still keeping the site open for 'unregistered' users. One advantage
45 of using Auth-based user tracking is that, unlike magic-cookies and funny
46 URL pre/postfixes, it is completely browser independent and it allows

53 SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_AUTH_DBM
54 mod_auth_dbm provides for HTTP Basic Authentication, where the usernames
55 and passwords are stored in DBM type database files.
56 Use this option to enable the module.

62 SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_AUTH_DIGEST
63 Enable RFC2617 Digest authentication provided by mod_auth_digest.
64 This module uses plain text files to store the credentials.

78 SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_SSL
79 Enable support for SSL/TLS provided by mod_ssl.
81 The Apache HTTP Server module mod_ssl provides an interface to the OpenSSL
82 library, which provides Strong Encryption using the Secure Sockets Layer
83 and Transport Layer Security protocols.

89 SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_DAV
90 Enable the WebDAV protocol handling provided by mod_dav.
92 mod_dav provides class 1 and class 2 WebDAV ('Web-based Distributed Authoring
93 and Versioning') functionality for Apache. This extension to the HTTP protocol
94 allows creating, moving, copying, and deleting resources and collections on a
97 Support for filesystem resources is provided by the seperate module mod_dav_fs.
98 mod_dav_fs is also automatically enabled if you choose this option.

104 SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_CACHE
105 Enable dynamic file caching provided by mod_cache.
107 mod_cache implements an RFC 2616 compliant HTTP content cache that can be used
108 to cache either local or proxied content.
110 This experimental module may be interesting for servers with high load or caching
111 proxy servers. At least one storage management module (e.g. mod_disk_cache or
112 mod_mem_cache) is also necessary.

116 http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_cache.html
118 SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_DISK_CACHE
119 Enable disk caching provided by mod_disk_cache.
121 mod_disk_cache implements a disk based storage manager.
122 It is primarily of use in conjunction with mod_proxy.

128 SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_PROXY
129 Enable the proxy/gateway functionality provided by mod_proxy.
131 The proxying capabilities for CONNECT, FTP and HTTP are provided by the seperate
132 modules mod_proxy_connect, mod_proxy_ftp and mod_proxy_http.
133 These three modules are also automatically enabled with this option.

139 SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_REWRITE
140 Enable rule based URL manipulation provided by mod_rewrite.
142 This module uses a rule-based rewriting engine (based on a regular-expression parser)
143 to rewrite requested URLs on the fly. It supports an unlimited number of rules and an
144 unlimited number of attached rule conditions for each rule to provide a really flexible
145 and powerful URL manipulation mechanism. The URL manipulations can depend on various
146 tests, for instance server variables, environment variables, HTTP headers, time stamps
147 and even external database lookups in various formats can be used to achieve a really
148 granular URL matching.

154 SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_DEFLATE
155 Enable deflate transfer encoding provided by mod_deflate.
157 The mod_deflate module provides the DEFLATE output filter that allows output from
158 your server to be compressed before being sent to the client over the network.

177 Requests to documents sometimes cannot be served by the core apache server because
178 the request was misspelled or miscapitalized. This module addresses this problem by
179 trying to find a matching document, even after all other modules gave up.
