For our purposes, one of the first levels of hardening comes during our initial setup phase. This is achieved by compiling our new Apache instance with only the static modules that we require. The following command is good starting point; the enable-mods-shared=few will compile Apache with the bare minimum DSOs and other modules are enabled/disabled as needed. A complete list of modules can be found here Apache 2.2 Modules. The --prefix switch allows as to specify the custom install directory for Apache. Further configuration options can be viewed here Apache Configuration Options.
