Centos 5.7 server running cPanel
Description
When mod_dav is compiled in Apache as a static module mod_dav.so does not exist under the Apache modules directory.
This therefore either requires a user to create a dummy version (just using touch mod_dav.so) or completely recompile the module as a shared module (which in the case of cPanel is not a straightforward process to maintain).
Creating a dummy version is poor practice as it could lead to confusion and Apache not loading if the mod_dav.so file is attempted to be loaded and the procedure for manually maintaining the shared module is extremely cumbersome and not upgrade-safe (see http://technicalnotebook.com/wiki/display/home/Compile+Atlassian%27s+Crowd+authenticator+on+CentOS+server+with+cPanel down the bottom under Original Procedure for details).
Therefore would it please be possible to add a --skip-deps-check and --skip-httpconf-changes to the compile script, without the dependant modules being referenced the modules configure and compile without issue (as is apparent by creating the dummy files).
Many thanks
Stuart
