RE: URGENT: Apache HTTP Migration from 1.3 to 2.0 UNIX Solaris

Hi All,

Thank you Rick and William for helping
me out.

As suggested I had use the apxs to build
a module.
Steps as follows:

1> I have commented my module and
try to start the apache and it started.

2> I took the default example file
that comes with httpd-2.4.34(httpd-2.4.34/modules/examples/mod_example_hooks.c)
and compile it with apxs by following command:
apxs -c mod_example_hooks.c

3> Above command automatically created
a folder .libs and in this there is .so created(.libs/mod_example_hooks.so)

4> When I loaded the created module
and try to start the apache then also it is giving the same error.

quartz: /usr/local/apache2.4.34/conf/extra
> apache2.4 start
httpd: Syntax error on line 490 of /usr/local/apache2.4.34/conf/httpd.conf:
Syntax error on line 6 of /usr/local/apache2.4.34/conf/extra/httpd-quartz.conf:
API module structure 'example_hooks_module' in file /app/quartz/COMS/EAI_324/ph/http/src/.libs/mod_example_hooks.so
is garbled - expected signature 41503234 but saw 00000000 - perhaps this
is not an Apache module DSO, or was compiled for a different Apache version?

• While that is one approach, I'm afraid it won't speed up your exercise; it is most
• direct to get 2.4 going.

Something that will likely speed your transition
is to split your task into as small of portions as possible, and tackle
those one at a time from a higher level perspective.  For example,
if a module is doing some custom authentication, look at what’s available
in 2.4 already and see if something now stock can do the job, or at least
get you 90% of the way there and serve as an updated template for your
code.  For example, there are already modules for authentication providers
like ldap, content caching, database access, etc.
 
The time savings on the simplified troubleshooting
steps are likely to be far from insignificant, and you would have the benefit
of a more standardized/modern codebase.  For example, get the server
up and running with static content, then compile one module with apxs,
get it to load, then work on the related config.  Work through any
issues you find with this, then move on to the next.  This may be
a good time to split one large config file up in many smaller ones with
includes, etc.  Trying to migrate an existing non-trivial site in
one step is likely to be overwhelming for most, especially for a novice.

Our main objective is to migrate to 2.4. Since I faced an issue while doing
so, I thought it would be better to first migrate to 2.0 then to 2.2 and
finally to 2.4.

In 2.4 itself the error is same.

The signature created turns out to be 00000000. I could not understand
this part. I have gone through the internet and there are always some definite
signature is available but in my case it turned out to be 0.

 
It is not a loadable library object.  Rather
than fighting with cc's flags, review
the helper utility;
 
  https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/apxs.html
 
This will make your life much simpler for
compiling and linking loadable modules. It retains the flags initially
used for compiling httpd and modules, so that the results are consistent.
