Install Apache module without re-installation with APXS

In case we have installed Apache using source code and we would like to install one of its modules called mod_rewrite or whatever. Then we need to do the following to install module without re-installing Apache:




cd apache-source-code
cd modules/mappers

/path/to/apache2/bin/apxs -iac mod_rewrite.c


Add following to httpd.conf file:


LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so




Then Restart Apache, thats it!!!
