Hints: - only a subset from the selected modules are enabled by default in httpd.conf. - by default apache24 builds with static prefork MPM - if MPM_SHARED is selected then all MPM modules will be build, but only the selected DEFAULT MPM module will be registered and enabled in httpd.conf. For more information see: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53882 Note: Shared MPM loading is at the moment not supported by most additional modules (php/perl/python) because they need to know the apache threading model during build time To build the develop/example modules specify additional the parameter -DIAMADEVELOPER (I am a developer) For detailed module description visit http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/ and for the develop/example modules http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/configure.html
