Thanks, but I don't seem to have it at all. $ cd / $ find . -name "*apxs*" -print ./usr/share/man/man8/apxs.8.bz2 Is this ok ? But my apache seems to be working fine ! Can someone suggest me as how I get this or can I proceed with the installation. Sebastian Wolfgarten wrote:

Hi Shanky, apxs is part of the apache distribution, you will find it in the subdirectory bin of your apache install directory (mostly). Be sure to use --with-apxs2 option when configuring for the case you will ever use apache2... bye, sebastian
