I've got Apache 2.4 and I built and installed mod_maxminddb from ports.
In httpd.conf most modules show along these lines:
So LoadModule, the module name, then the path - usually libexec/apache24/something.so
With mod_maxminddb it puts the path into httpd.conf as:
/usr/ports/www/mod_maxminddb/work/stage/usr/local/libexec/apache24/mod_maxminddb.so
That works fine but that doesn't look right and doesn't match all the other LoadModule lines. It also seems a bit flakey - if I clear down my local ports then I'll lose the binary.
mod_maxminddb.so exists in both the above path and /usr/local/libexec/apache24/mod_maxminddb.so (so the port build is creating the binary and copying to the Apache module directory).
If I manually change the httpd.conf to just the libexec/apache24/mod_maxminddb.so then it works.
I think it's down to this in the port Makefile
I think it would be better as
When I started looking through other Apache modules, though, the STAGEDIR set-up seems to be quite common, so began to wonder if I am barking up the wrong tree?
This might be more of a ports question.
