dso enabled apache

[techtip]

Hello,

I am trying to enable apache(1.3.20) with DSO. But httpd is not able to recognise "LoadModule" keyword

I downloaded the source from apache. Performed following actions,


1. Edit src/Configuration:
>> Rule SHARED_CORE=yes /* Changed to 'yes'*/
>> EXTRA_CFLAGS=
-DSHARED_CORE_DIR=\"/apps/apache1.3.20/libexec\"

2. Performed make
3. cp src/libhttpd.so* /apps/apache1.3.20/libexec
cp src/libhttpd.ep /apps/apache1.3.20/libexec
cp src/httpd /apps/apache1.3.20/bin

4. Generated mod_jk.so

5. Copied mod_jk.so to /apps/apache1.3.20/bin

6. In /apps/apache1.3.20/httpd.conf I included
LoadModule jk_mod libexec/mod_jk.so

7. I ran "/apps/apache1.3.20/bin
-f /apps/apache1.3.20/conf/httpd.conf"

The httpd failed with following message
Invalid command 'LoadModule', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Your input and help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

techtip.

Hi,

Looks like your apache doesn't have mod_so builtin. That's the module that allows you to use DSOs. The simplest way to compile apache with DSO support is like this :

# ./configure --enable-module=most --enable-shared=max
# make
# make install

Hope this helps

ifincham,

Thanks for your response,

For some reason ./configure was not seeting the required compile options for building httpd with DSO>

I modified
1. "prefix" value in config.layout to my install path
prefix = /apache1.3
2. src/Configuration to include
a. AddModule modules/standard/mod_so.o
b. EXTRA_CFLAGS= -DSHARED_CORE_DIR=\"/apache1.3/libexec\"
c. Rule SHARED_CORE yes
3. Performed make install

Now httpd is able to recognise DSO.
