<p>The <code>configure</code> script configures the source tree
for compiling and installing the Apache HTTP Server on your
particular platform. Various options allow the compilation of a
server corresponding to your personal requirements.</p>
<p>This script, included in the root directory of the source
distribution, is for compilation on Unix and Unix-like systems
only. For other platforms, see the <a href="../platform/">platform</a> documentation.</p>

<h3><a name="configurationoptions" id="configurationoptions">Configuration options</a></h3>
<p>The following options influence the behavior of
<code>configure</code> itself.</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>-C</code></dt>
<dt><code>--config-cache</code></dt>
<dd>This is an alias for <code>--cache-file=config.cache</code></dd>
<dt><code>--cache-file=<var>FILE</var></code></dt>
<dd>The test results will be cached in file <var>FILE</var>.
This option is disabled by default.</dd>
<dt><code>-h</code></dt>
<dt><code>--help [short|recursive]</code></dt>
<dd>Output the help and exit. With the argument <code>short</code> only
options specific to this package will displayed. The argument
<code>recursive</code> displays the short help of all the included
packages.</dd>
<dt><code>-n</code></dt>
<dt><code>--no-create</code></dt>
<dd>The <code>configure</code> script is run normally but does
not create output files. This is useful to check the test results
before generating makefiles for compilation.</dd>
<dt><code>-q</code></dt>
<dt><code>--quiet</code></dt>
<dd>Do not print <code>checking ...</code> messages during the
configure process.</dd>
<dt><code>--srcdir=<var>DIR</var></code></dt>
<dd>Defines directory <var>DIR</var> to be the source file directory.
Default is the directory where <code>configure</code> is located, or
the parent directory.</dd>
<dt><code>--silent</code></dt>
<dd>Same as <code>--quiet</code></dd>
<dt>-V</dt>
<dt>--version</dt>
<dd>Display copyright information and exit.</dd>
</dl>
<h3><a name="installationdirectories" id="installationdirectories">Installation
directories</a></h3>

</dl>
<p>By default, <code>make install</code> will install all the files in
<code>/usr/local/apache2/bin</code>, <code>/usr/local/apache2/lib</code>
etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than
<code>/usr/local/apache2</code> using <code>--prefix</code>,
for instance <code>--prefix=$HOME</code>.</p>
<h4><a name="layout" id="layout">Define a directory layout</a></h4>
<dl>
<dt><code>--enable-layout=<var>LAYOUT</var></code></dt>
<dd>Configure the source code and build scripts to assume an
installation tree based on the layout <var>LAYOUT</var>. This allows
you to separately specify the locations for each type of file within
the Apache HTTP Server installation. The <code>config.layout</code>
file contains several example configurations, and you can also create
your own custom configuration following the examples. The different
layouts in this file are grouped into <code><Layout
FOO>...</Layout></code> sections and referred to by name as
in <code>FOO</code>. The default layout is <code>Apache</code>.</dd>
</dl>

</dl>
<h3><a name="systemtypes" id="systemtypes">System types</a></h3>
<p>These options are used to cross-compile the Apache HTTP Server to run on
another system. In normal cases, when building and running the server on
the same system, these options are not used.</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>--build=<var>BUILD</var></code></dt>
<dd>Defines the system type of the system on which the tools are being
built. It defaults to the result of the script
<code>config.guess</code>.</dd>

<var>HOST</var> defaults to <var>BUILD</var>.</dd>
<dt><code>--target=<var>TARGET</var></code></dt>
<dd>Configure for building compilers for the system type
<var>TARGET</var>. It defaults to <var>HOST</var>. This option is
offered by <code>autoconf</code> and not necessary for the Apache HTTP
Server.</dd>
</dl>
<h3><a name="optionalfeatures" id="optionalfeatures">Optional Features</a></h3>
<p>These options are used to fine tune the features your HTTP server will
have.</p>
<h4><a name="generaloptfeat" id="generaloptfeat">General syntax</a></h4>
<p>Generally you can use the following syntax to enable or disable a
feature:</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>--disable-<var>FEATURE</var></code></dt>
<dd>Do not include <var>FEATURE</var>. This is the same as
<code>--enable-<var>FEATURE</var>=no</code>.</dd>

<dt><code>--enable-<var>MODULE</var>=static</code></dt>
<dd>By default enabled modules are linked statically. You can force
this explicitly.</dd>
</dl>
<div class="note"><h3>Note</h3>
<code>configure</code> will not complain about
<code>--enable-<var>foo</var></code> even if <var>foo</var> doesn't
exist, so you need to type carefully.
</div>

<h4><a name="modules" id="modules">MPMs and third-party modules</a></h4>
<p>To add the necessary Multi Processing Module and additional third-party
modules use the following options:</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>--with-module=<var>module-type</var>:<var>module-file</var>[,
<var>module-type</var>:<var>module-file</var>]</code></dt>
<dd><p>Add one or more third-party modules to the list of statically linked
modules. The module source file <code><var>module-file</var></code>
will be searched in the <code>modules/<var>module-type</var></code>
subdirectory of your Apache HTTP server source tree. If it is not found
there <code>configure</code> is considering <var>module-file</var> to be
an absolute file path and tries to copy the source file into the
<var>module-type</var> subdirectory. If the subdirectory doesn't
exist it will be created and populated with a standard
<code>Makefile.in</code>.</p>
<p>This option is useful to add small external modules consisting of
one source file. For more complex modules you should read the
vendor's documentation.</p>
<div class="note"><h3>Note</h3>
If you want to build a DSO module instead of a statically linked
use <code class="program"><a href="../programs/apxs.html">apxs</a></code>.</div>
</dd>
<dt><code>--with-mpm=MPM</code></dt>

<h4><a name="otheroptfeat" id="otheroptfeat">Cumulative and other options</a></h4>
<dl>
<dt><code>--enable-maintainer-mode</code></dt>
<dd>Turn on debugging and compile time warnings.</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-mods-shared=<var>MODULE-LIST</var></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Defines a list of modules to be enabled and build as dynamic
shared modules. This mean, these module have to be loaded
dynamically by using the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</a></code> directive.</p>
<p><var>MODULE-LIST</var> is a space separated list of modulenames
enclosed by quotation marks. The module names are given without the
preceding <code>mod_</code>. For example:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
--enable-mods-shared='headers rewrite dav'
</code></p></div>
<p>Additionally you can use the special keywords <code>all</code> and
<code>most</code>. For example,</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
--enable-mods-shared=most
</code></p></div>
<p>will compile most modules and build them as DSO modules.
</p>
<p><strong>Caveat:</strong>
<code>--enable-mods-shared=all</code> does not actually build all
modules. To build all modules then, one might use:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
./configure \<br />
<span class="indent">
--with-ldap \<br />
--enable-mods-shared="all ssl ldap cache proxy authn_alias mem_cache file_cache authnz_ldap charset_lite dav_lock disk_cache"
</span>
</code></p></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-modules=<var>MODULE-LIST</var></code></dt>
<dd>This option behaves similar to <code>--enable-mods-shared</code>,
but will link the given modules statically. This mean, these modules
will always be present while running <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code>. They need
not be loaded with <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</a></code>.</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-v4-mapped</code></dt>
<dd>Allow IPv6 sockets to handle IPv4 connections.</dd>

<dd>If no <var>path</var> is specified, <code>configure</code> will
search for the include files and libraries of a GNU DBM

<code><var>path</var>/lib</code> and
<code><var>path</var>/include</code> for the relevant files.
Finally, the <var>path</var> may specify specific include and
library paths separated by a colon.</dd>
<dt><code>--with-ndbm[=<var>path</var>]</code></dt>
