202
203 <para>
204 <parameter>--enable-mods-shared="all cgi"</parameter>: The modules should be
205 compiled and used as Dynamic Shared Objects (DSOs) so they can be included
206 and excluded from the server using the run-time configuration directives.
207 </para>
208
209 <para>
210 <parameter>--enable-mpms-shared=all</parameter>: This switch ensures that
211 all MPM (Multi Processing Modules) are built as Dynamic Shared Objects
212 (DSOs), so the user can choose which one to use at runtime.

215 <para>

224 behavior, such as default document root, minimal UID that can be used to

242 files from the tar file. If you want to change the ownership to another
243 user, you should do so at this point. The only requirement is that the
244 document directories need to be accessible by the <command>httpd</command>
245 process with (r-x) permissions and files need to be readable (r--) by the
246 <systemitem class="username">apache</systemitem> user.
