It is compiled in by default on Windows and is not compiled in by default on Unix. It provides for loading of executable code and modules into the server at start-up or restart time. This module is only available in Apache 1.3 and up. Summary This is an experimental module. Filename is either and absolute path or relative to ServerRoot .
Module is the name of the external variable of type module in the file.
The Apache module API is unchanged between the Unix and Windows versions. Many modules will run on Windows with no or little change from Unix, although others rely on aspects of the Unix architecture which are not present in Windows, and will not work. When a module does work, it can be added to the server in one of two ways. As with Unix, it can be compiled into the server. The second way is to compile the module as a DLL, a shared library that can be loaded into the server at runtime, using the LoadModule directive.
