That is plan B. However, if you have anything helpful to move plan A along, that would be much appreciated.
Well I'd think using the old home-grown apache would be plan b, but it's all about the choice, after all.
I would like to know why the present apache broke and how to fix it. What further info from me would be helpful ?
It seems that it was built against old libraries which have been upgraded.
You can verify this with the command:
ldd /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
Some possible rescue scenarious come to mind.
1. Install the compatibility libs, from the RH9 CD - These may well be the ones apache is looking for.
2. If you still have the sources, just do a remake, and it will build against the new libs.
