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

[singhal.ankit@xxxxxxx]

I have used the same apxs binary that is
available in the installed path of apache 2.4
/usr/local/apache2.4.34/bin/apxs

My main concern is "expected signature
41503234 but saw 00000000"

What could be the reason of signature
00000000?

Thanks & Regards

Did you use the apxs binary compiled with
2.4.34, or could you have executed an older copy, creating a module for
an earlier HTTP product?

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.

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.
