Hi again,So I manage to get my Apache installed in the end. For those who'd like to know/looking for a similar solution, all I had to do was:
> yum list apr*,[list displayed - My versions were slightly older, and there were some apr-utils that I was missing]
> yum install apr* [Installed new packages and updated old ones] Then everything worked fine. Thanks. Regards, Nisha Nishaliny Thurairatnam wrote:

HELP! :-( Regards, Nisha Nishaliny Thurairatnam wrote:Hi Prasanna,Thank you for your reply...I'm definitely no Apache expert, but I think I decided to arrange my configure options this way before, because I'd read(in the Apache documentation...I think) that --enable-modules=all doesn't actually enable all modules, and that's why we have to specify a few of them explicitly.I tried your suggestions, and I got the same error again :-(./configure --prefix=/etc/httpd2 --enable-mods-shared="all cache proxy authn_alias mem_cache file_cache rewrite" --enable-suexec --enable-ssl --with-mysql --with-apxs --with-apr=/usr/bin/apr-1-config --with-port=80 --with-program-name=httpd2This time I removed --enable-modules=all, and specified --with-apr explicitly, although I did not install apr separately.I tried configure with --enable-mods-shared "all" and "most". I got the same errors as before.Fyi, I'm executing my configure script from within this directory: /home/<user>/Installers/httpd-2.2.11This may sound a little ridiculous, but could that be a possible reason??*Update*: Finally got a configure combi that actually compiles without any errors!!!./configure --prefix=/etc/httpd2 --enable-modules=most --enable-cache --enable-proxy --enable-authn_alias --enable-mem_cache --enable-file_cache --enable-rewrite --enable-suexec --enable-ssl --with-mysql --with-apxs --with-apr=/usr/bin/apr-1-config --with-port=80 --with-program-name=httpd2The bad thing is, I had to remove "--enable-so" for it to work. Is it recommended to do an installation of Apache without "so"??Regards, Nisha Prasanna Ram Venkatachalam wrote:Also... Why do u need --enable-modules=all and --enable-mods-shared=most?? One will statically compile all into httpd and other will create .so files for most. Based on your requirement i think u can remove one of them. I personally suggest removing first. Just a thought!

But the first one related to apr rings some bell. Did you try using --with-apr option to explicitly mention path to apr libraries if you have them separately built?

This installation is to exists as a second apache instance on the server. I've 2 problems so far: *First* My initial configure options were like so: ./configure --prefix=/etc/httpd2 --enable-modules=all --enable-mods-shared="all cache proxy authn_alias mem_cache file_cache rewrite" --enable-suexec --enable-ssl --with-mysql --with-apxs --with-port=80 --with-program-name=httpd2 I have in fact successfully done an installation on another CentOS server(similar to the above) with these parameters recently. However, on this server, I get the following configure error (complete logs in config.log.1, as attached): / checking whether to enable mod_auth_digest... checking dependencies You need APR random support to use mod_auth_digest. Look at APR configure options --with-egd and --with-devrandom. checking whether to enable mod_auth_digest... configure: error: mod_auth_digest has been requested but can not be built due to prerequisite failures/ I tried to re-configure using first /"--with-egd/", which failed, and then tried /"--with-devrandom=/dev/urandom", /which also failed miserably. Then, from the logs, it seemed that configure was looking for apr in a directory that did not exist(at least from my understanding). In the specified location, I had a directory called "apr-1", so I created a softlink called "apr" pointing to "apr-1". That did not make any difference. After many unsuccessful trials, I decided to switch and try "/--enable-mods-shared=most"/. That's where the second error came in. *Second* My second configure options were like so: ./configure --prefix=/etc/httpd2 --enable-modules=all --enable-mods-shared="most cache proxy authn_alias mem_cache file_cache rewrite" --enable-suexec --enable-ssl --with-mysql --with-apxs --with-port=80 --with-program-name=httpd2 This gave a more interesting error, which was (config.log.2, as attached): / checking whether to enable mod_userdir... shared (most) checking whether to enable mod_alias... shared (most) checking whether to enable mod_rewrite... shared configure: error: shared objects have been requested but cannot be built since mod_so cannot be built /I have Googled the skies and could not find any workable solution, and the weird thing is that most of the other people who have previously encountered this problem, work on BSD's orAIX's or similar. Plus, they all date way back to year 2002-2003.It's got to be something that I'm doing wrong, or just missing, BUT I JUST CAN'T SEE IT!!! Please, someone, anyone, any thoughts/ideas that might save me? Thanks a million in advance!
