Downloading and building the H264 Streaming Module for Apache (version 2)

We will be using apxs2, the APache eXtenSion tool, to build and install the module for the Apache server.

Make sure you have apxs2 installed:

sudo apt-get install apache2-threaded-dev

Download

Download the source of the H264 Streaming Module for Apache.

cd ~ 
wget https://github.com/code-shop-com/h264/blob/main/download/apache_mod_h264_streaming-2.2.7.tar.gz
tar -zxvf apache_mod_h264_streaming-2.2.7.tar.gz

Build

cd ~/mod_h264_streaming-2.2.7 
./configure --with-apxs=`which apxs2` 
make
sudo make install

Configuration

Edit the configuration file (in /etc/apache/httpd.conf) so that file requests ending in ".mp4" are handled by the h264_streaming_module.

LoadModule h264_streaming_modulei /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_h264_streaming.so
AddHandler h264-streaming.extensions .mp4

Start Apache.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache start

Build & Configuration (CentOS 5.2)

CentOS users can follow these intructions for building the module instead. It uses apxs (instead of apxs2) and httpd (instead of apache).

sudo yum install httpd-devel 
sudo yum install httpd mod_ssl

cd ~/mod_h264_streaming-2.2.5 
./configure 
make 
sudo make install

echo 'LoadModule h264_streaming_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_h264_streaming.so' >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
echo 'AddHandler h264-streaming.extensions .mp4' >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

sudo /etc/init.d/httpd start
