Windows Apache Module Install

Requirements

• Windows 10 or higher (64-bit), Windows Server 2016
• Apache 2.4
• Verify you have installed the Signal Sciences Windows Agent. This will ensure the appropriate folder structure is in place on your file system.

Installation

1. Download the Apache module from:

   https://dl.signalsciences.net/sigsci-module-apache/sigsci-module-apache_latest.zip

2. Extract the Signal Sciences Apache Module from the .zip archive to your Apache modules directory, replacing PATH-TO-APACHE with the path to your Apache installation:

   $ unzip sigsci-module-apache_latest.zip
   $ copy mod_sigsci.so PATH-TO-APACHE\modules\

3. Add the following line to your Apache configuration file (httpd.conf) after the Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support section to enable the Signal Sciences Apache module:

   LoadModule signalsciences_module modules/mod_sigsci.so

4. Test to confirm the configuration is correct, replacing MY-SERVICE-NAME with the name of your service:

   $ httpd.exe -n "MY-SERVICE-NAME" -t

5. Start the Apache service as normal, for example:

   $ net start Apache2.4

   Or restart the Apache service with the following example command, replacing MY-SERVICE-NAME with the name of your service:

   $ httpd.exe -k restart -n "MY-SERVICE-NAME"
