CentOS - Jul 2009 - What's the configure specs for the generic Apache install of CentOS x86_64 5.3?

I'm trying to install apache 2.2.x from a tarball.

And it works.  But I'm also trying to install modsecure, and I can't get
that to work.

It might help to know what CentOS uses to install Apache when doing the
./configure.

There are a couple approaches that may work:

1)
Browse to http://your.server.name/server-info

If you haven't disabled it, it will show the server configuration.

2) Grab the sources and check it directly:

yumdownloader --source httpd
rpm -ivh http-xxxx.src.rpm

cd /YOURRPMBUILDDIR/SPECS

look at the httpd.spec file in the configure section

Why would you want to do that? CentOS 5.3 already ships Apache 2.2
packaged as an RPM.

I think you mean ModSecurity (http://www.modsecurity.org/), right?

If that's the case, the latest version mod_security-2.5.9 is available
from EPEL.

Oh.. and another option:
/usr/sbin/httpd -V


That will show the compiled options.. :)

That'll pretty much break the apache rpm installation...

If you stick with the rpm-based Apache installation, it might be as
simple as:

yum install httpd-devel
apxs -cia mod_security.c

as listed on:
http://www.modsecurity.org/documentation/modsecurity-apache/1.9.3/modsecurity-manual.html#02-installation

Of course, you could also grab the RPMS from EPEL...

That'll be in the SPEC file from the source rpm... also, I believe that
be default, you don't get the server-info page unless you're coming in
from localhost.
