    Hi,
    My hosted server has Apache 2.0.40, but it does not seem to have apxs. Is this possible? And how can I fix it?

    Thanks a lot for any help.

    If you have root access on the server, just reinstall Apache from the source distribution and apxs will be created in /usr/local/apache2/bin (default location).

    In your post you said it is a "hosted" server, which leads me to believe you don't have root. If that's the case, ask your host to recompile Apache from source.

    However, if he is on a shared hosting or reseller hosting, the provider may not recompile it or the extension tool is disabled.

    Apxs is a tool for building and installing extension modules, useful for those owning a dedicated or virtual private server, because you cannot install your own modules in a shared hosting account.
