Binary downloads

[marz13]

I have been using the binary download for Apache 2.0.43, from

http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/solaris/,

as the Apache plug-in for my BEA WebLogic 7.0 SP2 cluster. Unfortunately, this is not providing the performance I desire. I have gone through the BEA WebLogic and Apache Performance Tuning guides and have noticed that I should be using the MPM-workers instead of the prefork module. Does anyone know where I could obtain another binary code for Apache 2.0.44, the version actually supported by BEA, which might support the worker module?

Compiling apache on solaris is very easy. Here is what the configure command says :

www# ./configure --help | grep MPM
--with-mpm=MPM Choose the process model for Apache to use.
MPM={beos|worker|prefork|mpmt_os2|perchild|leader|threadpool}

So use :

./configure --with-mpm=MPM --prefix=/path/to/your/apache

Where MPM is your thread model.

Then just make and then make install.

siberian,

Thanks for the information. One reason I was looking for a binary was to avoid loading a comilier on my Sun box. I believe this will be necessary to install Apache with the Make command. If this is the only route to go, could you recommend a comilier to use?

thanks.

Ooh, your in the dreaded solaris compiler chicken and egg loop.

Check the Solaris forums, I am certain the have an FAQ o this one, its really common. I havent dealt with it in years so thats my best advice on that one.

Good luck!
