You have an account at a shared A* (eg. LAMP) hosting provider. You want to know which Apache modules are available so you can use them in a .htaccess.
If the host has mod_php you could simply use the apache_get_modules
function.
If not (no PHP, or PHP as CGI), use detect-Apache-modules.
detect-Apache-modules makes use of some core Apache configuration available
in .htaccess to report which modules are available.
Edit .htaccess to replace:
- 'http://my-host/apache-modules' with the target base URL
- '/apache-modules' with the target URL path
Put those files in a directory on the target host:
- .htaccess
- list.json
- list.xhtml
- ok.txt
- jquery*.min.js
Open list.html remotely. You'll get the result in your browser.
The list of modules which are probed is static.
This list is in two files which must be in sync
- .htaccess
- list.json
If they are not in sync, some modules may be incorrectly reported as not installed, or not reported at all.
To add more modules to the list you can manually modify the files or use setup.php to add modules from an existing host.
Requirements:
- a host which has PHP running with
mod_php list.jsonand.htaccesswriteable by Apache
Load setup.php from a web browser remotely. The list.json will be read,
combined with the local list of installed Apache modules and both list.json
and .htaccess files will be updated.
