How to install apxs module on apache 2.4.6

Question

I have just used apt-get update and my apache has been updated to 2.4.6.

i want to install apxs for compiling modules and i get this error

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 apache2-prefork-dev : Depends: apache2.2-common (= 2.2.22-1ubuntu1.4) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

How can i fix that

Solution 1

to install apxs on ubuntu, install theapache2-dev package.

sudo apt install apache2-dev

Solution 2

To install apxs on Oracle Linux run:

yum install httpd-devel

Solution 3

You cannot install httpd-devel on cpanel. You will need to install ea-apache24-devel

APXS is not APC. They aren't even related. (APXS is a tool used to build and install Apache modules, and APC is a PHP extension.)
