Hello, I looking for instruction to setup an Apache Load Balancer using modProxybalancer. Have heard modproxybalancer could perform a load balancer proxy for three web sites. Could not find any step by step instruction how to set it up. Can you help.

Hi, i got my version of apache 2.2 working, but when i do apache2 -v i still get the old version and i can not do “a2enmod proxy_balancer”. I think this is still using the old apache 2.0.5 version, any idea how to fix this? (The “this works” line is visible after rebooting, so it’s the right apache2)

Thank you very much. There were great instructions that covered everything I needed to do! I appreciate it very much!

As the guy above me says not only did it tell me what to do but I learned a couple things on the way and am getting very comfortable with the whole Linux thing. There's nothing like the buzz you get when you've successfully compiled something from source.

How to remove apache2.0.55? I installed apache2.0.55 before I read this article. Following this article, I installed apache2.2.3 without removing apache2.0.55. Now apache2.2.3 won’t start — I was informed that the address had been taken. I used sudo apt-install remove apache2 to remove apache2.0.55, but it said apache2 wasn’t found on the system… what is wrong?

For those of you trying to compile on an AMD64, there is a bug in the Zlib makefile.

After running ./configure in the zlib directory make sure this line is near the top of your Makefile:

CFLAGS=-O2 -DUSE_MMAP -fPIC -m64
