Intro to Apache - ApacheCon
Modules: How they work, a little better explanation
  • Apache works in phases - authentication, content, logging, etc

  • The Apache API provides hooks into these various phases

  • Any phase can be taken over by some module

  • mod_log_config usually handles the logging phase

  • mod_cgi can take over the content phase

  • mod_perl can do EVERYTHING
