 +====== Gentoo Linux: Apache ======
 +
 +  * [[Apache]]
 +  * [[Apache Worker MPM PHP CGI Suexec Setup]]
 +  * [[Gentoo]]
 +
 +Running Apache on Gentoo gives you a lot of flexibility. ​ However, out of the box, there are a lot of modules that are not used in many client configurations.
 +==== Modules ====
 +
 +The modules that Apache is built with can be set by ''​APACHE2_MODULES''​ in ''/​etc/​make.conf''​.
 +
 +Here is a trimmed down version that removes many unused modules.
 +
 +<​code>​
 +APACHE2_MODULES="​actions alias auth_basic authn_default auth_digest authn_file authz_default
 +authz_host authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid deflate dir disk_cache env expires file_cache
 +filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite
 +setenvif status unique_id userdir vhost_alias"​
 +</​code>​
 +
 +==== MPMS ====
 +
 +Gentoo lets you configure the MPM in use.  The most common ones are ''​prefork''​ and ''​worker'',​ with ''​prefork''​ being the default. ​ You can change this in ''​make.conf''​.
 +
 +<​code>​APACHE2_MPMS="​worker"</​code>​
 +
 +==== Optimization ====
 +
 +You can build Apache, or any program, with different settings than used by ''​make.conf''​. ​ Apache is a good candidate, since it is a primary application in the LAMP stack.
 +
 +An optimized version using gcc with highest optimizations:​
 +
 +<​code>​mkdir -p /​etc/​portage/​env/​www-servers</​code>​
 +
 +Edit ''​apache''​ file in that directory and add this:
 +
 +<​code>​CFLAGS="​-O3 -pipe -march=native"​
 +CXXFLAGS="​${CFLAGS}"</​code>​
