types of Apache

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/02/16]

Hi all,

I am just a Linux user, and not an expert and I want to learn using ModPerl
and Apache under Linux better.

I use SuSe and I have seen the following directories in /usr/lib:

apache  apache2-prefork  apache2-worker

and in some of them I found more Apache modules.

Can you tell me which is the difference between using the modules from the
apache2-prefork or the modules from the "apache2" directory?

I have seen that by default, in httpd.conf, some modules from the
apache2-prefork are loaded (commented by default), but I couldn't see
mod_perl in that directory, but only in the "apache2" one.

Thank you.

Teddy
