  8. Install mod_watch for Apache 2.4

    main

    To install the mod_watch module in an Apache 2.4 Win64 environment, follow these steps:

    1. Copy the mod_watch.so file into your Apache modules folder.
    2. Create a directory named watch within your Apache installation directory (e.g., c:/apache24/watch).
    3. Load the module in your httpd.conf file using the LoadModule directive.
    LoadModule watch_module modules/mod_watch.so

  9. Install mod_maxminddb for Apache 2.4.x

    main

    To install the mod_maxminddb module, follow these three steps:

    1. Install Prerequisites: Ensure the Visual C++ 2022 x64 Redistributable Package is installed on your system. You can download it from: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/VC_redist.x64.exe.
    2. Copy the Module: Copy mod_maxminddb.so to your Apache modules directory (e.g., .../Apache24/modules/mod_maxminddb.so).
    3. Copy the Database: Copy GeoLite2-Country.mmdb to your Apache extra configuration directory (e.g., .../Apache24/conf/extra/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb).

    Note: This build is specifically for Apache 2.4.x x64 only. Modules built on Visual C++ 2022 do not run on Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.

    # 1. Install Visual C++ 2022 x64 Redistributable
# 2. Copy module:
cp mod_maxminddb.so .../Apache24/modules/
# 3. Copy database:
cp GeoLite2-Country.mmdb .../Apache24/conf/extra/

  12. Install mod_xsendfile for Apache

    main

    To install the mod_xsendfile module in your Apache environment, follow these two steps:

    1. Copy the binary: Move the mod_xsendfile.so file into your Apache modules folder.
    2. Enable the module: Add the LoadModule directive to your httpd.conf file to instruct Apache to load the module at startup.
    # Add this to your httpd.conf
LoadModule xsendfile_module modules/mod_xsendfile.so
