Compiling with Apache 2.4

[Ruben Safir]

I am trying to compile Apache 2.4.27 and mod_perl 2.0.10 and I used the
command

perl Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=11
MP_AP_PREFIX="/home/ruben/src/httpd-2.4.xx"
MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--with-mpm=prefork --enable-load-all-modules"

and it bombs with:
perl Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=11
MP_AP_PREFIX="/home/ruben/src/httpd-2.4.xx"
MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--with-mpm=prefork --enable-load-all-modules"
Reading Makefile.PL args from @ARGV
MP_USE_STATIC = 11
[ error] MP_AP_PREFIX must point to a valid directory.

I googled this and pulled two libraries but not sure how to proceed.

I did a ./configure under the apr-1.6.2 source and is seemed to work but
a libtool error happened, and tha is just too many errors without me
asking now from someone I trust as how to proceed.

Hello,

Post by Ruben Safir
I am trying to compile Apache 2.4.27 and mod_perl 2.0.10 and I used the
command
perl Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=11
MP_AP_PREFIX="/home/ruben/src/httpd-2.4.xx"
MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--with-mpm=prefork --enable-load-all-modules"
perl Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=11
MP_AP_PREFIX="/home/ruben/src/httpd-2.4.xx"
MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--with-mpm=prefork --enable-load-all-modules"
MP_USE_STATIC = 11
[ error] MP_AP_PREFIX must point to a valid directory.

Are you sure, that the directory '/home/ruben/src/httpd-2.4.xx’ exists and you have write access to it? The message says it is not a valid directory.

Best regards

You need to install APR (Apache Portable Runtime) first. You can find it here: http://apr.apache.org/.

This looks to me as you would be mixing Apache and mod_perl installation. Instead of giving just another puzzle piece, it might be more helpful to you when I show you how I installed Apache and mod_perl from the sources using customised paths. ‘MySourcePath’ and ‘MyHttpdPrefixPath’ present my local setup, so you need to adapt this to your path structure.

cd /MySourcePath/apr-1.6.2
./configure —prefix=/MyHttpdPrefixPath
make
make test
make install

cd /MySourcePath/apr-util-1.6.0
./configure --prefix=/MyHttpdPrefixPath --without-sqlite3 --with-apr=/MyHttpdPrefixPath
make
make test
make install

cd /MySourcePath/pcre-8.41
./configure --prefix=/MyHttpdPrefixPath
make
make test

cd /MySourcePath/httpd-2.4.27
./configure --prefix=/MyHttpdPrefixPath --with-mpm=prefork --enable-mods-shared=all --enable-dav --enable-rewrite --enable-ssl --enable-proxy --enable-proxy_http --enable-auth-digest --with-apr=/MyHttpdPrefixPath --with-apr-util=/MyHttpdPrefixPath --with-pcre=/MyHttpdPrefixPath —with-ssl=/MySslPath
(of course you might have different needs, so feel free to leave some options away)
make
make install


cd /MySourcePath/mod_perl-2.0.10
perl Makefile.PL MP_APR_CONFIG=/MyHttpdPrefixPath/bin/apr-1-config MP_APXS=/MyHttpdPrefixPath/bin/apxs
make
make test
make install

The test had shown minor problems here, but for my requirements all functions are working.

I hope this offers you a more complete picture.

I really wanted to make this static and compile from mod_perl and it
just looks like it is not possible any longer unless I can get apr UNDER

I tried adding /usr/local/apr to ld.conf.d with no luck

There is a section in the apache code

I tired a derivative of your method

MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--with-mpm=prefork --enable-load-all-modules

that has a very strange failure:

Unknown whether statically link is supported, but mod_perl works
fine as a DSO.

[Ruben Safir]

So I moved the apr and apr-util source under the httpd directory but I
removed the version numbers and it passed the apr problem:

Note this solution for Apache 2.4 and Modperl 10

cp -r ../apr-1.6.2 ~/src/httpd-2.4.27/srclib/apr
cp -r ../apr-util-1.6.0 ~/src/httpd-2.4.27/srclib/apr-util

Now I seem to be running into what seems to be a bug:

no, apache simply doesn't complile any long. This is what we get for
depending on package from distors.

We have no broken tarballs and source code that doesn't work or
fundementally broken.

exports.c:1461:13: note: previous definition of
‘ap_hack_apr_xml_empty_elem’ was here

a stream of these

[Ruben Safir]

FWIW

This error seems to be from apr conflicts. I had differing APRs and I
made the APR and APR-UTIL but hand but it seems the systems already had
installed apr for another package. I have to remove all the hand
compliled versions, not that easy, but I was luckky to have everything
in known locations. Then I reinstalled apr-utility with pacman.

That was a problem not and the packagemanager was out of sync. I
couldn't remove it or instlall it so I have to remove dead files in
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ and then reinstall and upgrade apr-utility (which
includes apr). Don't, if you use arch, install apr by itself. I think
it was the source of the instability.

Hopefully some seach engine will find this and save someone a lot of
greif.

I don't what the context of the questions is, but
"pcre" stands for "Perl Compatible Regular Expressions"

This doesn't work. I just throw up my hands at this point. ModPerl is
obviously so broken now that it can no longer be used.

Having spent a few months coaxing some 2005-era apache and mod_perl into modern life, I kicked out all the self-build apache, mod_perl, perl from Bamboo and went with the latest RPMs from RHEL 7.

I do not regret this decision.

And don’t talk to me about mod_perl 1.x.

Looks like your Perl build is statically linked and multi-threaded
while your Apache is pre-fork and you intend to build mod_perl
as a DSO.

Yes! I rebuilt it for threads and shared. Different docs say different
things. I tried to rebuild it with the ithread option and that option
is now Dusethread no longer Duseithread. I think there was also a
problem building it for 64 bits and I had to use an envar for CFLAG for
64 bits. I think these items need to get into the docs.

[***@www3 ~]$ perl -v

This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 1 (v5.26.1) built for

I am trying to compile Apache 2.4.27 and mod_perl 2.0.10 and I used the
command
perl Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=11
MP_AP_PREFIX="/home/ruben/src/httpd-2.4.xx"
MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--with-mpm=prefork --enable-load-all-modules"
perl Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=11
MP_AP_PREFIX="/home/ruben/src/httpd-2.4.xx"
MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--with-mpm=prefork --enable-load-all-modules"
MP_USE_STATIC = 11
[ error] MP_AP_PREFIX must point to a valid directory.
I googled this and pulled two libraries but not sure how to proceed.

I did a ./configure under the apr-1.6.2 source and is seemed to work but
a libtool error happened, and tha is just too many errors without me
asking now from someone I trust as how to proceed.

I'm not familiar with static linking mod_perl, but if you build Apache
separately with the intention of running mod_perl as a DSO, you should
configure Apache --with-included-apr and place apr and apr-util in
its srclib directory.

Then you would build mod_perl,
$ env MAKE=gmake /path/to/bin/perl Makefile.PL \
MP_APXS=/path/to/bin/apxs MAKE=gmake MP_NO_THREADS=1

Happy hacking,
John
