How to know if installed apache22 has thread support?

[overflowing]

I'm following the instructions for installing mod_wsgi from this site:

http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/InstallationOnFreeBSD

In the instructions it says "Make sure 'THREADS' is selected and review other options before selecting OK." My system is FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE and I installed apache22 from packages. This is the version I have:

apache-2.2.17_1

How do I know if it was built with THREADS support?

cd /usr/ports/www/apache22 && make config

Should be the first option. If it's checked, threads are on. Note that the current version of apache22 is 2.2.19_2.

Oh wait, you're using a package, which is the port with default options. The default is 'threads OFF'.

Thank you. But in general how do you know what options a package is created with? Is there something I could have looked up to find out for myself?

You can use freshports.org to see what the port's options are, and how they are set by default.

E.g. http://www.freshports.org/www/apache22/

Hello,

$ cat /var/db/ports/apache22/options | grep -i thread
WITHOUT_THREADS=true

ports(7) for more information.

That only works if Apache was installed from a port. In this case, it was a package, which does not register its options anywhere on the host.

Yes, I misled by your post with $ make config in the port directory and didn't mention that is installed from package (and wrote my post as addition)
