Any body have any experience with the apache module, mod_throttle on the RaQ? If so, what are it's advantages/disadvantages? How accurate is it?

This from the RackShack Forum on Mod_Throttle and the RAQ4i:

well, i just tried it on our test server....it's certainly not as easy as the instructions on that website. If anyone has got it working on a standard raq just by following those directions, please post. If you've got it working at all on the raq, please let us know how.

I'd really like to know the configuration for mod_throttle.c since there is no configure script. I can make and make install with no errors, but loading the module in httpd causes it to die.


if anyone can get it working....I would love to know how....

I haven't tried it out in practise (installing mod_throttle) - but did you try simply compiling it with apxs like any Apache module? (i.e. not using configure commands, but using the apxs command).

I don't think it should be a problem to get it running on a RaQ.

yes actually, It won't compile on a standard (factory software) raq4 without apxs. when I did it that way however, i'm able to start apache, but it throws an error into /var/log/messages every 30 secs or so (don't have it with me right this sec) and doesn't serve any pages. I'm still stumped........

I _have_ seen it working on a raq, but the amount of work it took probably isn't worth it (at the very least it required updating glibc and other things i'm not sure about since it wasn't me who actually got it working)

again..... if anyone has got it working in any easy sort of way i would love to know.............

Ehm, I installed in on a RaQ4i just last night... it took approx. 15 minutes? (that was the first time I set it up)

There's nothing to it really - just download the tar.gz file, read the instructions, and follow them.

And the RaQ4 _does_ have apxs of course...

hmm... i don't know what i was doing the other day, probably 100 things at once.......

your right though. i just installed it on a different raq.... took all of 5 minutes.
