Debian Apache2 modules: Appendix 1 - Statically build-in modules

This is the list of the standard apache2 modules that are compiled into the Debian apache2 binary: core, http_core, prefork/worker/perchild, mod_access, mod_auth, mod_log_config, mod_logio, mod_env, mod_setenvif, mod_mime, mod_status, mod_autoindex, mod_negotiation, mod_dir, mod_alias, mod_so.

You can check what modules are built statically in the apache2 binary, by running the command:

apache2 -l

Compiled in modules:
core.c
mod_access.c
mod_auth.c
mod_log_config.c
mod_logio.c
mod_env.c
mod_setenvif.c
worker.c
http_core.c
mod_mime.c
mod_status.c
mod_autoindex.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_dir.c
mod_alias.c
mod_so.c

Here is a short description and the link to the apache docs for each of the modules from above:

core, http_core: Core Apache HTTP Server features that are always available
prefork/worker/perchild: The MPM module (based on the actual MPM installed)

mod_status: Provides information on server activity and performance
mod_autoindex: Generates directory indexes, automatically, similar to the Unix ls command or the Win32 dir shell command
mod_negotiation: Provides for content negotiation
mod_dir: Provides for “trailing slash” redirects and serving directory index files
mod_alias: Provides for mapping different parts of the host filesystem in the document tree and for URL redirection
mod_so: Loading of executable code and modules into the server at start-up or restart time
