Once you have compiled it, you can try installing it. Installing the module will copy the module into where you keep your apache modules, and add loading the module to your http.conf file. In practice, it will run apxs -i -a.
If you don't want the module to be automatically loaded the next time you start Apache, type:
make activate=no installThis will not activate the module (ie, it will run apxs -i -A).
