Newbie question: Compiling and loading a module

[kyru]

I'm sure this is a truly simple thing to do but I'm getting a serious headache with it.

I prefer being told the whole process to do it, until now I've done this way:

a)I have my Apache source on /usr/src/http-2.0.63 I have inputted the following commands:

./configure -prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=shared
(The last thing is supposed to allow DSO to be used).

make

make install

Ok, now in /usr/local/apache y have a directory modules with just a file called httpd.exp which seems to be useless.

I return to /usr/src/http-2.0.63/modules and I enter a module folder, for example ssl, I try to use the make command but nothing happens, so I cannot get the mod_ssl.so file.

I think that after I get the .so file I have it I just have to modify the httpd.conf file and putting a directive Loadmodule mod_ssl path to the .so file ¿Right?

Then next time I start Apache this module is loaded. Isn't it?

In addition, is there any command to check which modules are installed? Does httpd -l do for that?

Thanks in advance.

Sigh, the problem was that in
./configure -prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=shared in module you had to put the name of the module, like dav or proxy... how lame...
