Having built an Apache 2.0.58 from ports and watching it run, I realise

it comes installed by default.in the precompiled package, in case you havent
done any tweaking of the build params

this time with the addition
module, and simply take the built mod_negotation.so and add it to the
libexec/apache2 directory?

as root, edit /var/db/ports/apache20/options, set to true the one you want (or
add it if not there). If you cant figure which one it is, delete that dir
in /var/db/ports and run make config in the port dir. Then :

cd /usr/ports/www/apache20
make
apachectl stop
make deinstall
make reinstall
apachectl start


Either that, or is there a more general method within the ports
framework of taking a mod_*.c file and converting it to a DSO for
inclusion with httpd after the fact?

there may be if building apache from source outside of ports. For me it's not
worth the effort of trying to figure it out each time.

I.e, if possible I would like to
avoid reinstalling the httpd world, but on the other hand, I don't want
the new .so file to cause a segfault because of some sort of API mismatch.

you'd only have to build apache again (not that bad)... there are actually 116
different mod_ ported individually... it would be cool to have the default ones
that come w/apache too :)
