Installing modules
In order to add a module to a virtual server press the Virtual
Servers tab and then focus on the name of the server. As soon as
you have done this you will see the Add module button at
the bottom of the page. Pressing the Add module button will
display a list of all available modules. A module is selected by
pressing the module name header. Below each module header is a brief
explanation of the module. Each module adds its
configurable parameters under the Virtual servers tab.
Some modules require other modules to work. When installing such a
module the modules it requires will also be installed. It will not be
possible to delete the supporting modules without first deleting the
module that requires them.
Configuring the module path
Challenger will search for modules in the directories configured in
the Global Variables/Module directories variable. It doesn't matter where you
store your modules as long as the path to their directory is
configured in this variable.
On each module's node you can see where that particular module
resides.
You will have to do a reload on the Add module page before
any new modules will be shown.
Upgrading a module
To upgrade a module you must first replace the files for the old
version with the files for the new version. Then you focus on the
module's node and press the Reload Module button. If there
are any problems with compiling the new version they will show up
here. If so, you can always move the files for the old version back
and no harm will be done.
Compilation errors
If a module gets a compilation error this will be entered into the
Event Log and the debug log.
