62 Chapter 7 Installing and Viewing Web Modules
mod_sherlock_apple
This module lets Apache perform relevance-ranked searches of the website using
Sherlock. Once you index your site using the Finder, you can provide a search field for
users to search your website.
m
To index a folder’s contents, choose Get Info from the file menu.
Note: You must be logged in as root for the index to be copied to the web directory in
order to be searchable by a browser.
Clients must add .sherlock to your website’s URL to access a page that allows them to
search your site. For example, http://www.example.com/.sherlock.
mod_auth_apple
This module allows a website to authenticate users by looking for them in directory
service domains within the server’s search policy. When authentication is enabled,
website visitors are prompted for a user name and password before they can access
information on the site.
mod_hfs_apple
This module requires users to enter URLs for HFS volumes using the correct case
(lowercase or uppercase). This module adds security for case-insensitive volumes. If a
restriction exists for a volume, users receive a message that the URL is not found.
mod_digest_apple
The new mod_digest_apple module enables digest authentication for a WebDAV
realm.
mod_rendezvous_apple
The new mod_rendezvous_apple module allows administrators to control how
websites are registered with Rendezvous. See “Enabling Apache Rendezvous
Registration” on page 51 for more information.
Open-Source Modules
Mac OS X Server includes these popular open-source modules: Tomcat, PHP: Hypertext
Preprocessor, and mod_perl.
Tomcat
The Tomcat module, which uses Java-like scripting, is the official reference
implementation for two complementary technologies developed under the Java
Community Process. For more information about Tomcat, see “Tomcat” on page 58.
If you want to use Tomcat, you must activate it first. You use the Application Server
section of Server Admin to start Tomcat. See “Tomcat” on page 58 for instructions.
