Problem compiling apache

Hi

I have problem compiling apache. I have tried release 2.2.8 and 2.2.6. In
both releases I get an error saying that they compiler can't read a
/usr/lib/libexpat.so could not read symbols: File in wring format. Wrong
format or some thing. DOes this has to do with the fact tha I'm using a 64
bit version of Fedora 6?

I configure using
[root@localhost httpd.2.2.6]#./configure --prefix=/www

Make
[root@localhost httpd.2.2.6]#make

Error Message

/usr/lib/libexpat.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [libaprutil-1.la] Error 1

Re: Problem compiling apache

HI

Well there is so much problems with the Fedora 6 version I'm using so I'm
thinking of installing another Linux version. Maybe SUSE or Debian. One
Linux guru that I know recommended Debian another SUSE. As long as one of
them include a X11 system to maintain the server from it's OK with me.

What I would like to install is some thing that I never have exeprienced in
Linux. An install where every thing works after install. Network, Webserver
(Apache), MySQL, PHP, emacs, compilers, ASP.NET. There's always a lot of
shit when you install Linux. Yes Linux is a good OS byt a pain in the but to
install. Just the fact that I can't install Fedore 5,7 or 8 because it
doesn't support my SATA RADI system. My Windows XP installs was easy to
insatll, no problem at all. But Linux, no. It's as if Linux is designed only
to be installed by gurus. But as they say, more chefs makes worse soup.

When installing apache I would do it this way:

../configure --prefix=/www --with-expat=builtin

If you are going to be using ssl, make sure you compile that in too...

../configure --prefix=/www --with-expat=builtin --enable-ssl

This may not work as libtool is a 32bit library. As a quick work around you
could temporarily substitute the 64 bit libraries libexpat.* in /usr/lib64
for the 32 bit libraries in /usr/lib. This doesnt solve the problem, its
just a temp workaround.

Re: Problem compiling apache

HI

But it was apache that was failing. Isn't this a group to help you find
errors related to apache? If I'm comfortable or not with Linux has nothing
to do with the fact that I'm using it. Linux is good for some things like a
webserver. However I don't recoment you to use Linux for audio production
due to lack of software. Foa audio production use a Windows XP PC or a MAC.
Sure thare are a buch of free programs to use that can rip CDs record audio
but so far I haven't seen any ting for professional audio production used in
studios.

Re: Problem compiling apache

Hi

Thanks, now it works in firefos to type http://127.0.0.1

--with-expat=builtin
Was the thing that helped me

Now I need to set up the firewall properly.
Don't remeber weather to us 192.168.0.xxx or 127.0.0.1. But the old confog
file I use us backuped on a USB hard drive, I'll check there.

Lars, what is it that you are attempting to do, just serve webpages? When
you say you need to open up firewall rules, do you mean for apache,
sendmail, pop etc...? How familiar are you with linux and installing
programs or basic linux administration?

Let me know.

Thanks
Jim

Re: Problem compiling apache

Hi

Open up my D-Link router on port 80. I included the firewall in my Fedora
install. So that is new to me. The laster server Iused was without firewall
rules. Anyhow Apache is working although without the PHP4 support. PHP4
workes but I can't find where the php4_module.so is installed. I tried

#cd /
find | grep "php4_module"

without finding it. When I compiled (make) PHP4 there where no errors as
installed it (make install). I installed php under /usr to be sure apache
would use PHP4 in stead of PHP5. Don't know if PHP5 is fully compatible with
PHP4 or if the mysql commands has changed. HAve to check that out. Maybe I
should try PHP5 instead.

I've never worked woth administrating linux. I have only set up my own
webservers at the office. A webserver for my homepage. Now I need a
webserver for demo for my scills in creating homepages.

Whenit comes to working under Linux and Unix in general I guess I have a
programmers skills not the administrators skills. But I have manages with
help form news groups and others to set up servers for pop3, sendmail for
php-mailing, vsftpd for a backup project I worked with for 2 years. At that
time I had to look into vsftpd and its config file in more detail. Setting
it up to work with routers etc. Seting it in passive mode and still let
users connect via ftp in passive mode.

Linux installer programs? Are you referring to the automatic update system
of rpm files. I have tried the rpm files but apache and php doesn't work for
me. The only rpm package for the webserver that I manage to install properly
was MySQL. A friend of mine, a skilled Linux system administrator at the
office complex where i had my office recomended me always to download and
compile Apache, MySQL, PHP and other programs since that usually is faster.
At least it was for him

I usually reinstall my Linux server every second year. In the mean time I
only work on it. Like when I developed the backup system we made.

My skills in Linux is more Unix skills such as scripting (mostly C-Shell).
USed that to maintain and manage backup files stored on our server. In
general I've been working with multimedia programs for Windows.

Hope I didn't get to booring

Lars

I know that with fedora core 6 it defaults to php 5. (5.1.2 I believe). Php
5 is backwards compatible to php 4 commands. I would recommend taking a look
at the changelog on the php.net site to see if any of the scripts that you
are using would be effected. As for setting up firewall rules and anything
else, I would recommend using webmin. Its free and provides a GUI for alot
of services. You can get it from www.webmin.net. Download the rpm and just
do an rpm -ivh webmin-1.380-1.noarch.rpm (not sure of the version number).
Then to access webmin from a machine outside your network, you will have to
open a port in iptables for port 10000 (thats the default port webmin uses).
You could open a port from the command line like this:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

Then do

service iptables save

And port 10000 will be available for webmin.

As for php4 and php5 co-existing in the same enviornment, That would be
tough. Apache can only load one module for php, I had an issue on one of my
servers where I had php5 loaded but then was loading the module from php 4.
I was getting constant segmentation fault errors until I figured out what
was happening. Also instead of using the find command to locate a file, I
use the locate command. If you run updatedb (should be on a cron daily) and
then do

locate filename

You will find the location of your file that you are looking for if its on
the server.

Good point bout "Gates"

The problem was solved by using ./configure the right way. ./configure must
mean that it is a configuration problem? Any how I got the responce I
needed. I have downloaded another distribution of Linux in which I hope that
I ONLY need to configure apace not reinstall and recomple. I might come back
with CONFIGURATION problems.

BTW
What's "-per-se". English is not my native language in case you didn't know.

Per se is a Latin legal expression, I was taught it meant "of itself" but
sometimes it is translated "by itself".
