Can I install mod_evasive in apache2 when installed from repo?

Hi All,

I would like to install mod_evasive into my apache2 installation. The instructions say I need to use apxs to install mod_evasive, but the problem is I installed apache2 via apt-get and I am unable to find a apxs binary.

If I recall apxs can only be enabled during the ./configure when compiling/installing from source.

Any ideas how I can install mod_evasive into apache2 on my Debian system?

apxs should be in apache-dev:

Yeah I saw that, but is there an apache2-dev? I don't want a bunch of apache1.3 crap floating around on my system. Also since I did not compile from source, would using apxs to build another module screw up my existing install (installed from repo)?

From this: http://megaz.arbuz.com/2004/08/02/apache-performance/
it doesn't seem that you need to recompile apache, also why its called "modules"..

apache2-threaded-dev seems to be for apache2 threaded(normal). For preforked apache2, apache2-prefork-dev
