Fedora Core 2 rpm's ...

[dbeezzz]

I'm setting up a fedora core 2 box at the moment and I'm having some difficulties with apache. Where is it that I can find the apache-devel rpm ?

I need to use the apxs program to install the mod_security manual. But apparently it's not in the apache rpm.

I've looked around for guides to FC2 and they are few and far between. The only apache-developer rpm I can find is on an rpm search engine for the Trustix distro.

I'm more used to the boundless ease that is apt-get. I seem to be missing the whole attraction of yum/rpm so far.

I think you would try "yum install apache-devel" or
"up2date -i apache-devel" or something like that.

The repositories in your package manager should be able to sort out the version match and the dependencies.

You should also be able to install a package for the mod_ you wanted.

Also, I'm fairly sure that yum has "yum search xxxx" capabilities like "apt-cache search xxxx"

They're all getting to be so incestually designed that it's hard to keep their uniquenesses seperate.

Thanks daver,
I had tried

yum provides *apache_devel*  

yum install *apache_devel*

yum search apache_devel

and variations on the theme but no luck I'm afraid.

However I did discover a nice legacy repository at

http://www.fedoralegacy.org

if anyone is interested.

It's possible that the product is called "httpd" instead of "apache".

Also, try searching without the "_devel" and grep your way through the results.

More than possible.. That's how Apache 2.x packages are named. 1.x was "apache*.rpm".

Also, "httpd-devel" is correct, not "httpd_devel".
