Q : Install mod evasive into Apache 1.3.X through customapache and not through DSO

[goldeneyez]

Hello,

I would like to add new module into Apache.
I found the following KB:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=50

The following is installed in the server:
Server Version: Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.7a PHP/4.4.9 mod_perl/1.29 FrontPage/5.0.2.2510

I insist to install the new module by means of customapache and not by DSO method

Please Assist me regarding that

The module which I would like to install is:
mod_evasive

So I have downloaded the file mod_evasive_1.10.1.tar.gz into /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
I have run the command tar xfz mod_evasive_1.10.1.tar.gz
and now I have a new directory:
/usr/local/directadmin/customapache/mod_evasive

I have the following file inside /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/mod_evasive:

[root@sharedlinux mod_evasive]# ls -la
total 116
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 8 2005 .

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14269 Oct 8 2005 README
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 406 Aug 30 2003 test.pl


Now, According to the KB (http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=50)
I need to add the follwoing row into configure.apache_ssl:

--with-module

I have the following questions:

1) what is the name of the module which I need to use (from where the name of the module is taken) ?
2) in case that the current configure.apache_ssl is:

#!/bin/sh
./configure \
--with-apache=../apache_1.3.41 \
--with-ssl=/usr \
--prefix=/etc/httpd \
--exec-prefix=/etc/httpd \
--bindir=/usr/bin \
--sbindir=/usr/sbin \
--sysconfdir=/etc/httpd/conf \
--enable-module=all \
--enable-module=ssl \
--enable-shared=max \
--enable-suexec \
--suexec-docroot=/ \
--suexec-caller=apache \
--suexec-userdir=public_html \
--includedir=/usr/include/apache \
--libexecdir=/usr/lib/apache \
--datadir=/var/www \
--iconsdir=/var/www/icons \
--htdocsdir=/var/www/html \
--manualdir=/var/www/html/manual \
--cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin \
--localstatedir=/var \
--runtimedir=/var/run \
--logfiledir=/var/log/httpd \
--proxycachedir=/var/cache/httpd \
--with-perl=/usr/bin/perl \
--add-module=mod_frontpage.c \
--disable-module=auth_db --disable-module=auth_dbm

Then what is directory path where the mod evasive need to be saved ?

because now it's exist in the following path:
/usr/local/directadmin/customapache/mod_evasive

but when I will execute the following commands:
./build clean
./build apache_mod_ssl

then how apache will find the mod evasive files ?

So , probably the mod_evasive files need to be saved into differ directory rather then /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/mod_evasive

by the way , you must improve the KB http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=50
You need to explain the users where to save the new module and from where the name of the module is taken.
If this info would be in the KB then I wouldn't ask so much questions.

by the way,

HOW TO INSTALL mod_evasive according to the README file which exist inside mod_evasive gz package:

APACHE v1.3
-----------
Without DSO Support:
1. Extract this archive into src/modules in the Apache source tree
2. Run ./configure --add-module=src/modules/evasive/mod_evasive.c
3. make, install
4. Restart Apache

but I want to use the customapache method.

Please Assist me.

And I am thank you in Advacned.
