Hi,
I'm trying to install the mod_xsendfile Apache Module on Windows (7) x64 (using Apache 2.2) -- yes I'm doomed from the get-go, I know :-). Apparently there is :
a) No Win x64 binary for mod_xsendfile, just a Win32 binary from the module's website
b) No Win x64 binary for apxs from ApacheLounge
I've tried the usual LoadModule xsendfile_module modules/mod_xsendfile.so
but the semi-obvious error (httpd: Syntax error on line 127 of C:/Apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/Apache/modules/mod_xsendfile.so into
server: The specified module could not be found.
) occurs, it's not Win x64 compatible.
The question remains -- how does one build the module for x64, is that even possible ? I have VS and any tools that might be required.
I just wanted to see if this would improve my Rails protected attachment download speed - currently getting quite ghastly speeds for simple images.
Thank you in advance !
