Version 0.1 released, initial realease
mod_dnssd is an Apache HTTPD module which adds Zeroconf support via DNS-SD using Avahi.
Version @PACKAGE_VERSION@ is more or less stable and fulfills its purpose.
For activating mod_dnssd just load it into the server and use the global directive DNSSDEnable to enable it:
DNSSDEnable on
That's it, nothing more is required! The module publishes all configured virtual hosts and the mod_userdir directories of all local users. For mod_userdir to work you need to load that module and configure it for the path ~/public_html/.
Four other directives are available: the global directive DNSSDAutoRegisterUserDir can be used to disable automatic registration of mod_userdir directories. The global directive DNSSDAutoRegisterVHosts can be used to disable automatic registration of all local virtual hosts.
The two directives DNSSDServiceName and DNSSDServiceTypes which can be placed inside a <VirtualHost> or a <Location> section can be used to define additional services for publishing or to finetune the service name or types of virtual hosts.
mod_dnssd requires a current release of Apache 2.0 with apxs and a development installation of Avahi 0.6 or newer.
mod_dnssd has been developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux "testing" from January 2006, it should work on most other Linux distributions and probably POSIX implementations since it uses GNU autoconf and Apache apxs for source code configuration.
As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run ./configure inside the distribution directory for configuring the source tree. After that you should run make for compilation and make install (as root) for installation of mod_dnssd.
This work was inspired by Sander Temme's and Sebastien Estienne's mod_zeroconf module.
The newest release is always available from @PACKAGE_URL@
The current release is @PACKAGE_VERSION@
