Re: Trouble starting Apache HTTP Server

["Raju Chandran" <rajurc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am able to compile all modules as DSO using 
./configure --prefix=PREFIX --enable-mods-shared=all

its now creating all the modules (.so extension) under the modules directory.

Now I am again trying to start my server using 'httpd'

But this time I am getting error like this :

>> httpd -f /Volumes/DATA/Apache_224/conf/httpd.conf 
Syntax error on line 65 of /DATA/Apache_224/conf/httpd.conf:
API module structure `auth_basic_module' in file /Volumes/DATA/Apache_224/modules/mod_auth_basic.so is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO?

If I comment this , it goes to the next module and so on and to some stage we get another error

"Cannot load /Volumes/DATA/Apache_224/modules/mod_auth_digest.so into server: (reason unknown)"

Please help me at the earliest

Thanks
Raju

Hi all,
I am trying to configure my standalone Apache server 2.2 in my Mac OS

I am able to compile and install Apache HTTP Server 2.2.4 source tree (downloaded for UNix) for my Mac OS server without enabling any features (modules)

I followed the guidelines given

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/install.html


1) I tried to start the server using "apachectl start"

a)  but failing and showing the following :

 Processing config directory: /private/etc/httpd/users/*.conf
 Processing config file: /private/etc/httpd/users/abcde.conf
 fopen: Permission denied
 httpd: could not open error log file /private/var/log/httpd/error_log.

I wonder why it is going to a different log path. I disabled the built-in Apache Webserver comes with MacOS. Is it causing the issue?

b) I also tried "httpd -f ..../httpd.conf"
but it is also failing

Syntax error on line 114 of /Volumes/DATA/Apache_new/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'Order', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Please help me in the above and also help me in  how I can compile 'modules' into the binary and use them

Thanks
Raju
