Hello,

=20

I am attempting to get a clean up-to-date install Apache with static
linked mod_perl (using current stable releases for Apache (2.2.17) and
mod_perl (2.0.5) from .tar.gz files download from respective
repositories) but am at a frustrating dead end. I am looking for any
suggestions as I have an immediate need for this.

=20

Here are the steps I have taken (multiple times):

1) configured a new RHEL 5 32 bit virtual machine with 2 CPUs and
4G RAM using "software development" template and no additional software
(no httpd), default PERL install of 5.8.8...

2) all RHEL updates as of 4/17 applied

3) download source for PERL 5.12.3, and installed

a. # ./Configure -des -Uusethreads

b. make, make test, make install (no errors)

4) installed from CPAN "Bundle::Apache2" (tried both with and
without this step, # /usr/local/bin/perl5.12.3 -MCPAN -e "install
Bundle::Apache2")

5) though was using the official .tar.gz distribution of Apache, I
did run ./buildconf in the Apache source directory for consistency (no
errors)

6) executed the mod_perl config in the mod_perl source directory:=20
# /usr/local/bin/perl5.12.3 Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=3D1
MP_AP_PREFIX=3D/root/httpd-2.2.17 =
MP_AP_CONFIGURE=3D"-with-mpm=3Dprefork"

=20

and this is always the result at the end, what is interesting is that in
all the previous config steps, there don't seem to be any issues in
finding and working with apr related stuff....

=20

Configuring Apache/2.2.17 mod_perl/2.0.5 Perl/v5.12.3

Checking if your kit is complete...

Looks good

Use of uninitialized value $v in substitution (s///) at
lib/Apache2/Build.pm line 1330.

[ error] Can't find apr include/ directory,

[ error] use MP_APR_CONFIG=3D/path/to/apr-config

(END)=20

=20

Thinking there was maybe a conflict with RHEL apr I did try running #
yum remove apr* to remove RHEL related packages....

=20

repeated the whole process same result....same results with Perl 5.8.8

=20

I really can't believe that virgin stable release TARs on a pretty much
standard RHEL 5 installs would be this difficult to get to work. =20

=20

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

I didn't see the arguments you used to compile apache in here. But
would suggest using --with-included-apr as a build option.

A couple other questions:

1) Do you specifically need threads? If not, it is generally advised
to compile Perl without them.

2) Do you need mod_perl2 statically compiled? Most users choose to
compile it as a shared object, which is widely tested.

RE: Installation help [mod_perl 2.0.5/apache 2.2.17/perl-5.12.3]

Thanks for your reply....clarifications

1) Perl 5.12.3 was compiled without thread support as per the mod_perl =
2.0 installation directions

2) I have tried adding the "--with-included-apr" option without luck

2) As per the mod_perl documentation for static I am not pre-compiling =
Apache but was allowing the mod_perl 2.0 process to handle that

3) I was trying to match a pre-existing configuration which was using =
Apache 1.3 with mod_perl 1.0 statically linked in. While it would be =
preferred to keep the configuration the same, I am not sure it is =
mandatory. =20

4) what is also interesting is if I repeat the mod_perl configuration =
command again, I do not get that "Can't find apr include/ directory" =
error, and the config proceeds fine, however the make just throws a =
bunch of errors which seem to be apr related...

For what it is worth, I'd suggest building mp2 as a shared object;
this approach is very well tested. You may be able to build as a
static module, but that can take some additional effort, and that
build option is not as widely tested.

Building as a dso is simple - 'perl Makefile.PL
MP_APXS=3D/usr/local/bin/apxs', or just 'perl Makefile.PL' if your apxs
is in $ENV{PATH}. This requires that you build Apache outside the
mod_perl build, but for that I usually './configure --enable-so
--with-included-apr --prefix=3D/path/to/my/apache'.

FYI

Wanted to let you know I accidently stumbled on a something that worked, =
=A0I had noticed that if I ran the mod_perl config twice, the second =
time it ran it would not show that apr directory-not-found error, =
however the make would fail with some APR related errors, =A0however, =
=A0if I added the "--with-included-apr" option to the MP_AP_CONFIGURE =
option to the mod_perl config, then again ran the command twice, the =
first time it would fail with the directory not found error as before, =
the second time it ran through completely, *BUT* this time 'make' ran =
without a problem and the rest of the process ran error free. =A0I then =
checked with 'httpd -l' and mod_perl.c was listed in the built in module =
list. =A0I am trying to test the now running web service to see if =
everything functions.

Not quite sure what that all meant....but it seems I now have a static =
linked version

RE: Installation help [mod_perl 2.0.5/apache 2.2.17/perl-5.12.3]

Moving an installation from Apache 1.3 to Apache 2.0.....

I am trying to move an existing installation of a PERL code base (of
which I am not the original author) to Apache 2.0 to help address some
security concerns. For the most part I have found Apache2 equivalents
for most of the modules but have the following which I cannot seem to
find compatible equivalents for.=20

use Apache::AuthDBI
use Apache::Constants
use Apache::Registry

and a reference to=20

use Apache;

Are there suggestions for replacements that would contain the same
functionality. I have not at this point found all specific procedural
calls for these.

Apache::DBI is mp2 friendly, so it should be a drop in replacement.

See http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/Const.html

use Apache2::Const -compile =3D> qw(FORBIDDEN OK);

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/index.html

Take a look at ModPerl::Registry.

Here's a good link to read through for general migration:

FYI

Wanted to let you know I accidently stumbled on a something that worked, =
=A0I had noticed that if I ran the mod_perl config twice, the second =
time it ran it would not show that apr directory-not-found error, =
however the make would fail with some APR related errors, =A0however, =
=A0if I added the "--with-included-apr" option to the MP_AP_CONFIGURE =
option to the mod_perl config, then again ran the command twice, the =
first time it would fail with the directory not found error as before, =
the second time it ran through completely, *BUT* this time 'make' ran =
without a problem and the rest of the process ran error free. =A0I then =
checked with 'httpd -l' and mod_perl.c was listed in the built in module =
list. =A0I am trying to test the now running web service to see if =
everything functions.

Not quite sure what that all meant....but it seems I now have a static =
linked version

this approach is very well tested. =A0You may be able to build as a =
static module, but that can take some additional effort, and that build =
option is not as widely tested.

Re: FW: Installation help [mod_perl 2.0.5/apache 2.2.17/perl-5.12.3]

Don't stay beholden to the mp1 way of compiling statically unless you
have a really good reason to do so and know what you are doing. If
you are deploying in a server based environment, compile as a shared
object, or use the rpms. No reason to make life extra hard for
something that shouldn't take more than an hour to setup.
