But it doesn't say where or how to do this. I'm sure everyone in this
group will
take that sort of thing for granted, but it's infuriating for those
of us coming
to Apache Modules for this first time.
It would be redundant for the documentation of each every
module to repeat the basic "how to configure Pache" information,
as the information you seek is the same for every module.
Is there no documentation available on Apache Modules? There are a
couple of
books on Amazon, but is there nothing on the web?
According to Google there are about 2.25 million tutorials which will
show you "where or how to set" Apache directives:

To get much more useful results when using mailing lists such as this
one,
see the following instructions which I've found useful for myself. You
may
notice that this document specifically addresses several things that
directly
apply to your post:

Thanks for your reply. I've taken a look
at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_session.html, but like
everything
else in the area of Apache modules, the document is terse.
Is there no documentation available on Apache Modules? There are a

books on Amazon, but is there nothing on the web? All I have found
are snippets
of information, usually poorly written (for example those referenced
from
here: http://modules.apache.org/reference.php), and the "threebit"
tutorial. I
haven't been able to find anything for those new to Apache and Apache
Modules.
For example, the mod_session page states:
Creating a session is as simple as turning the session on, and
deciding where
the session will be stored. In this example, the session will be
stored on the
browser, in a cookie called session.

The page also mentions the SessionEnv directive:
If set to On, the SessionEnv directive causes the contents of the
session to be
written to a CGI environment variable called HTTP_SESSION.
but it'd be great if there was some documentation somewhere that said
where to
set this, and how to read it from another module, assuming that this
environment
variable is in fact the only way to get hold of the session
information in my
module. It can't possibly be an environment variable in the true sense
(getenv...) as there may be thousands of requests hitting the server.
