I also ran # apachectl -V And I get that other versions of the APR and APR-Util are getting loaded, not the versions I compiled against. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to /opt/myapp/apache/lib:/opt/myapp/apr/lib:/opt/myapp/apr-util/lib: Server version: Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) Server built: Sep 16 2008 11:25:55 Server's Module Magic Number: 20051115:11 Server loaded: APR 1.2.7, APR-Util 1.2.7 Compiled using: APR 1.3.3, APR-Util 1.3.4 Heelp!! Thank you. -Jorge -----Original Message----- From: Jorge Medina [mailto:jmedina@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 4:16 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: How do I tell Apache where to find the APR and APR-utils? Hi, I am not sure this is the right forum for my question, but here it is: How do I tell Apache where to find the APR and APR-utils libraries if the libraries are in a different directory than that used in the 'configure' step ? I am compiling Apache with the options --prefix=/home/user/opt/myapp/apache --with-apr=/home/user/opt/myapp/apr --with-apr-util=/home/user/opt/myapp/apr-util I am creating a tar file with all my application (Apache, Tomcat and couple of webapps) and deploying into a different machine, possibly in a different path, usually /opt/myapp. The layout of my app ends up being something like: /opt/myapp |-- apache/ |-- tomcat/ |-- apr/ \-- apr-util/ When I try to start Apache, I get the error: httpd: Syntax error on line 70 of /opt/myapp/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /opt/myapp/apache/modules/mod_authn_dbd.so into server: /opt/myapp/apache/modules/mod_authn_dbd.so: undefined symbol: apr_dbd_get_name Before starting Apache, I already defined and exported the environment variable: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/myapp/apr/lib:/opt/myapp/apr-util/lib But I keep getting the same error. I noticed that the APR and APR-util have a directory /lib/pkgconfig with some files with the extension .pc I also modified those files to point to the right deployment directory, but same error. How do I tell Apache where to find the APR and APR-utils libraries if the libraries are in a different directory than that used in the 'configure' step ? If this is not the right forum, could anybody suggest where could I get an answer? Thanks. -Jorge --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
