I have some problem using mod_xsendfile on tarragon. I’ve been working on getting this working for 2 days. I have had to get into the source code of the apache module to figure it out, and I want to turn on the debugging option to see what is going on.<\/p>\n
So I have to recompile the c source file, with the define of _DEBUG, and install the it as a module. Had to figure out how to do this. It is very easy. But easy doesn’t mean I’ll remember it, thus this post.<\/p>\n
I cloned the source:<\/p>\n
git clone https:\/\/github.com\/nmaier\/mod_xsendfile (into my local git repo), and then cd into the directory, and<\/p>\n
apxs -D_DEBUG -i -c mod_xsendfile.c<\/p>\n
This creates the module with debugging defined, and puts it in \/usr\/lib64\/httpd\/modules\/mod_xsendfile.so<\/p>\n
It still needs to be loaded into apache. Instructions at his site say to use the -a flag, to activate, but while that would work on a simple site, it tries to put the LoadModule into \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf, and all my LoadModule statements are in files in the directory \/etc\/httpd\/conf.modules.d so I need to create \/etc\/httpd\/conf.modules.d\/xsendfile.conf containing:<\/p>\n
LoadModule xsendfile_module modules\/mod_xsendfile.so<\/p>\n
The module will log debug statements, but this still won’t actually get you any log records until you set LogLevel debug in the apache config file.<\/p>\n
Then restart apache and Bob’s your uncle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
