+<h3>Summary</h3>
+
+
+ <p>On selected operating systems this module can be used to
+ load modules into Apache HTTP Server at runtime via the <a href="../dso.html">Dynamic Shared Object</a> (DSO) mechanism,
+ rather than requiring a recompilation.</p>
+
+ <p>On Unix, the loaded code typically comes from shared object
+ files (usually with <code>.so</code> extension), on Windows
+ this may either be the <code>.so</code> or <code>.dll</code>
+ extension.</p>
+
+ <div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
+ <p>Modules built for one major version of the Apache HTTP Server
+ will generally not work on another. (e.g. 1.3 vs. 2.0, or 2.0 vs.
+ 2.2) There are usually API changes between one major version and
+ another that require that modules be modified to work with the new
+ version.</p>

+<h2><a name="windows" id="windows">Creating Loadable Modules for Windows</a></h2>
+
+ <div class="note"><h3>Note</h3>
+ <p>On Windows, where loadable files typically have a file extension
+ of <code>.dll</code>, Apache httpd modules are called
+ <code>mod_whatever.so</code>, just as they are on other platforms.
+ However, you may encounter third-party modules, such as PHP for
+ example, that continue to use the <code>.dll</code> convention.</p>
+
+ <p>While <code>mod_so</code> still loads modules with
+ <code>ApacheModuleFoo.dll</code> names, the new naming convention is
+ preferred; if you are converting your loadable module for 2.0,
+ please fix the name to this 2.0 convention.</p></div>
+
+ <p>The Apache httpd module API is unchanged between the Unix and
+ Windows versions. Many modules will run on Windows with no or
+ little change from Unix, although others rely on aspects of the
+ Unix architecture which are not present in Windows, and will
+ not work.</p>
+
+ <p>When a module does work, it can be added to the server in
+ one of two ways. As with Unix, it can be compiled into the
+ server. Because Apache httpd for Windows does not have the
+ <code>Configure</code> program of Apache httpd for Unix, the module's
+ source file must be added to the ApacheCore project file, and
+ its symbols must be added to the
+ <code>os\win32\modules.c</code> file.</p>
+
+ <p>The second way is to compile the module as a DLL, a shared
+ library that can be loaded into the server at runtime, using
+ the <code class="directive">LoadModule</code>
+ directive. These module DLLs can be distributed and run on any
+ Apache httpd for Windows installation, without recompilation of the
+ server.</p>
+
+ <p>To create a module DLL, a small change is necessary to the
+ module's source file: The module record must be exported from
+ the DLL (which will be created later; see below). To do this,
+ add the <code>AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA</code> (defined in the
+ Apache httpd header files) to your module's module record definition.
+ For example, if your module has:</p>
+
+<div class="example"><p><code>
+ module foo_module;
+</code></p></div>
+
+ <p>Replace the above with:</p>
+<div class="example"><p><code>
+ module AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA foo_module;
+</code></p></div>
+
+ <p>Note that this will only be activated on Windows, so the
+ module can continue to be used, unchanged, with Unix if needed.
+ Also, if you are familiar with <code>.DEF</code> files, you can
+ export the module record with that method instead.</p>
+
+ <p>Now, create a DLL containing your module. You will need to
+ link this against the libhttpd.lib export library that is
+ created when the libhttpd.dll shared library is compiled. You
+ may also have to change the compiler settings to ensure that
+ the Apache httpd header files are correctly located. You can find
+ this library in your server root's modules directory. It is
+ best to grab an existing module .dsp file from the tree to
+ assure the build environment is configured correctly, or
+ alternately compare the compiler and link options to your
+ .dsp.</p>
+
+ <p>This should create a DLL version of your module. Now simply
+ place it in the <code>modules</code> directory of your server
+ root, and use the <code class="directive">LoadModule</code>
+ directive to load it.</p>
+
+</div>
+<div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
+<div class="directive-section"><h2><a name="LoadFile" id="LoadFile">LoadFile</a> <a name="loadfile" id="loadfile">Directive</a></h2>
+<table class="directive">

+<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Status">Status:</a></th><td>Extension</td></tr>
+<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Module">Module:</a></th><td>mod_so</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+ <p>The <code class="directive">LoadFile</code> directive links in the named object files or
+ libraries when the server is started or restarted; this is used
+ to load additional code which may be required for some module
+ to work. <em>Filename</em> is either an absolute path or
+ relative to <a href="core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>For example:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">LoadFile "libexec/libxmlparse.so"</pre>
+
+
+
+</div>
+<div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>

+<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Module">Module:</a></th><td>mod_so</td></tr>
+</table>
+ <p>The <code class="directive">LoadModule</code> directive links in the object file or library
+ <em>filename</em> and adds the module structure named
+ <em>module</em> to the list of active modules. <em>Module</em>
+ is the name of the external variable of type
+ <code>module</code> in the file, and is listed as the <a href="module-dict.html#ModuleIdentifier">Module Identifier</a>
+ in the module documentation.</p>
+
+ <p>For example:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">LoadModule status_module "modules/mod_status.so"</pre>
+
+
+ <p>loads the named module from the modules subdirectory of the
+ ServerRoot.</p>
