mod_blosxom.c

mod_blosxom [pronounced "mod-blossom" or "mod-blogsome"] is a extreme lightweight yet feature-packed Weblog application designed from the ground up with simplicity, usability, and interoperability in mind.
mod_blosxom.c has inherited the function of original Blosxom (almost). Therefore, the data and the template of original Blosxom can be used as it is.

Install

Please see an INSTALL file.
Configuration

Then activate it in Apache's httpd.conf file, for instance for the URL /blosxom, as follows:

# httpd.conf
LoadModule blosxom_module libexec/mod_blosxom.so <Location /blosxom>

        SetHandler      blosxom-handler
        BlogTitle       "Blosxom"
        BlogDescription "Yet another Blosxom blog."
        BlogLanguage    en
        BlogDatadir     /Library/WebServer/Documents/blosxom
        BlogEntries     20

</Location>

Then after restarting Apache via

# apachectl restart

When using in another language, as follows:

# in <Location /blosxom>
AddDefaultCharset EUC-JP

In the upper example, the character set EUC-JP is outputted by the header.
