Topic: Apache modules

Hello list,
I have performed my first IredMail install on FreeBSD two weeks ago and doing a config file check at the moment, mainly to understand how everything works together. I was surprised to see that the initial install of Apache had all modules enabled. Is a list available of Apache modules which are needed for iRedMail to run properly. I would like to disable all modules not needed to run iRedMail properly.
Any hints are welcome. In the meantime I am trying myself to leave out as much modules as possible.
Regards,
Lars.

Re: Apache modules

iRedMail just enable required modules, other modules are enabled or disabled by FreeBSD ports tree itself.

Hello,
if I understand correctly the iRedMAil install script packages_freebsd.sh does the following with the Apache port:

WITH_APR_FROM_PORTS=true

WITHOUT_SQLITE=true

WITH_PROXY_AJP=true

WITH_CGID=true

This enables all the Apache modules in the standard httpd.conf. I cannot imagine that all these modules are necessary for iRedMail to function properly.

Re: Apache modules

Well, my mistake, i forgot they're enabled in this file.

You can disable some of them after installed, but we have to compile them into Apache because other admins will need some of them.
