I have read the post, btw (liked it - I usually like Rachel's posts) - but still don't understand what .so is.
- wickedwiesel 7y agoIn Unix these are shared object libraries. In this context, I believe .so is the file extension for extensions that can be loaded by web servers during runtime. I think the person in the story was trying to change the Apache2 configuration of all FE servers to load the wanted client library / .so file. - https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_so.html https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_so.html
- quibono 7y agoI think it's the shared library file that the person was trying to add to the frontend
- fock 7y ago`find /usr -name '*.so'` that's enough for you ;)
- mrunkel 7y agoit's a shared object file. Basically a pre-compiled set of functions. For example libc is a .so file. In windows, think .DLL.
