Re: [RFC] APXS LoadModule Option in configure

Oh ok, I think I see where you're getting confused. This problem occurs when your LoadModule statement is in a *separate* .conf file; i.e. using the "Include" statement. APXS cannot detect this and just sticks a LoadModule into the main .conf file. This is what causes the duplication. It's a very common issue as many people (myself included) prefer to keep their PHP configurations separate. --Kris On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 4:42 PM, Christopher Jones < christopher.jones@oracle.com> wrote: > > > On 02/24/2012 04:14 PM, Kris Craig wrote: > >> No, it happens and it's even clearly documented in APXS. >> >> Basically, if you specify the "-a" option in APXS, it overwrites your >> httpd.conf (or apache.conf or whatever it is on your system) and adds the >> LoadModule line to it.
