23 July 2001 Quick mod_throttle installation README.


To install mod_throttle on a Red Hat Linux 7.2 system:

1) Install the rpm (rpm -Uvh <rpm-name>)

2) In httpd.conf, uncomment the LoadModule line for modules/mod_throttle.so

3) In httpd.conf, uncomment the AddModule line for mod_throttle.c .  If 
this line is not present, add it in at the end of the AddModule listings:

AddModule mod_throttle.c

4) Ensure that the IfModule section is present;  If not add it with the 
other IfModule sections (slightly modified from the default entry in the 
documentation):

<IfModule mod_throttle.c>
	ThrottlePolicy Original

	</Location /throttle-status>
	SetHandler throttle-status

	<Location /throttle-me>
	SetHandler throttle-me
	</Location>

	<Location /~*/throttle-me
	SetHandler throttle-me
	</Location>
</IfModule>

5) "service httpd restart" to restart the Apache web server, then go to:

http://localhost/throttle-status

and check to make sure the module is loading and working (you should see a 
simple sample page displayed at that URL if the module is working 
properly).

6) For more information, consult the documentation for mod_throttle 
located in /usr/share/doc.
