Modules for use in httpd can be loaded statically or dynamicaly. A couple of core modules are built in by default if you build your own server, and you can choose others too using --enable options to the ./configure command. We do this on our Linux Web Server and Deploying httpd and Tomcat courses with mod_proxy and mod_rewrite.

The -l option to the httpd command tells you which modules you have statically loaded:

[root@p15161732 root]# httpd -l
Compiled in modules:
core.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_so.c
[root@p15161732 root]#

Additional modules are loaded dynamically as directed in your httpd.conf file and any further files that it includes, via directives such as

LoadModule access_module modules/mod_access.so
LoadModule auth_module modules/mod_auth.so
LoadModule auth_anon_module modules/mod_auth_anon.so
