My web server running apache 2.2.6 (Redhat ES4) with proper configuration. Now I want to add new modules: mod_expires, mod_headers, mod_deflate<br />
<br />
I did some search and know there're 2 methods:<br />
<br />
1. Use gcc to compile necessary modules from source to .so file, and use LoadModule directive.<br />
2. Recompile apache with some options to keep existing configurations and add new modules.<br />
<br />
Could you help me with detail instructions of 2 methods?<br />
