mod_cdb is an Apache2 module which get its contents from a cdb file. It is suitable for handling thousands of small files.

BUILD

1. Get djb's cdb package from http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html
2. Extract and build it.
3. Edit ./Makefile to make it point the Apache installed directory and the cdb directory (I suppose cdb-0.75).
4. $ make install

USE

Add this to the httpd.conf:

        LoadModule cdb_module modules/mod_cdb.so
        <Location /path1>
            SetHandler cdb
            CDBSource /somewhere/data1.cdb text/html
        </Location>

        When URI http://yourhost/path1/abc is accessed, the server tries to
        obtain the contents from the cdb file /somewhere/data1.cdb by the key "abc",
        with the predefined mimetype "text/html".
