Why does DA disable yum installation of apache mods

[nicikiketo]

Hi,

I have seen in various other threads that part of DA installation adds this to /etc/yum.conf

exclude=apache* httpd* mod_* mysql* MySQL* da_* *ftp* exim* sendmail* php* bind-chroot*

Why is this? Can I safely edit the exclude line temporarily? Is there a recommended way of overcoming this problem?

I want to install mod_xsendfile for my Rails 3 app, but cannot.

yum install mod_xsendfile

I would really appreciate any advice before I unwittingly trash my server.

Cause for deps will require apache2 install, thats what DA disable to install, cause DA use to install apache from source.

I would also suggest you to compile it from source.

If im not wrong should be this: https://tn123.org/mod_xsendfile/

Hi SeLLeRoNe,

Thanks very much. This worked for me. the only thing I had to do was provide the full path for the apxs command.

 sudo /usr/sbin/apxs -cia mod_xsendfile.c

instead of

apxs -cia mod_xsendfile.c
