mod_luaex is a module for apache2 that extends mod_lua to support socache, session, filter and other, making it more flexible.

Back in 2005, I began writing my own mod_lua, inspired by mod_python. A few years later I was glad to see the official mod_lua came out. Because some functionality is missing in the official version, I need to write a ext module.

mod_luaex does not replace mod_lua, it works after mod_lua is enabled and actived. mod_luaex depends on mod_lua, as well as mod_dbd, mod_session and mod_socache.

The target environment is Apache HTTPd 2.4

Please see mod_lua.patch to view what changed.

cd $HTTPSRC/modules/lua patch < path of mod_lua.patch

then recompile apache httpd and install it.

make HTTPSRC=... HTTPDST=... LUAINCS=/usr/local/include/luajit-2.1

HTTPSRC: path to Aapche HTTPD 2.4 source dir HTTPDST: path to Apache HTTPD 2.4 binary installed dir LUAINCS: path to luajit include dir

1. Change setting in config.win
2. nmake -f makefile.win
