Compiling Apache 2.2 and php 5.2 from source on Arch

Hi there
Wanting to compile Apache 2 with PHP 5 on my Arch server. I figure this must be frequently done by people out there wanting more control over how their servers are setup, and was wondering if anyone had some good documentation for this? If none exists I'm keen to work on putting it up on the Arch Wiki.
I've compiled apache httpd-2.2.16 from source already, and have it running nicely.
Apache compile options were:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--enable-rewrite --enable-ssl --enable-so \
--enable-mime-magic --enable-suexec \
--enable-static-rotatelogs \
--disable-imap --disable-userdir --enable-cgi \
--disable-dav \
--disable-proxy-connect --disable-proxy-ftp --disable-proxy-http --disable-proxy \
--disable-authnz-ldap
$ /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -Vvv
Server version: Apache/2.2.16 (Unix)
Server built: Sep 6 2010 06:10:41
Server's Module Magic Number: 20051115:24
Server loaded: APR 1.4.2, APR-Util 1.3.9
Compiled using: APR 1.4.2, APR-Util 1.3.9
Architecture: 32-bit
Server MPM: Prefork
threaded: no
forked: yes (variable process count)
Server compiled with....
-D APACHE_MPM_DIR="server/mpm/prefork"
-D APR_HAS_SENDFILE
-D APR_HAS_MMAP
-D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled)
-D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE
-D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE
-D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
-D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD
-D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS

-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"
Now installing PHP from source is proving to not work out so easily.

Have tried to make Apache execute php bin via CGI without any luck, but I think I'd rather work on compiling PHP into a module properly.
Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for this!
Using:
./configure \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache/php \
--disable-cgi
--enable-so \
--enable-rewrite \
make
libtool --finish /root/source-programs/apache/httpd-2.2.16/php-5.2.14/libs
In /usr/local/apache/modules I get:
libphp5.a libphp5.la
No libphp5.so yet but closer.. Also looking at how I can use ABS just to compile php.

Apache 2.0 and PHP 5

Hello,
I have a Customer who wants to develop an application with IAS 9.0.4. There should be an Integration of PHP 5 as Apache module mod_php (using the following PEAR packages)
- DB
- DB_LDAP
- Auth
- Config
- File
- Log
- XML_Serializer
and additional Apache modules mod_ssl and mod_dav should also be used.
Has somebody done something similar.
I know that this is not official supported, but I just wan t to know if there are technical traps or bugs which could be show stopper.
thanks in advance for your help
Martin

Recent traffic on php.internals makes me think the note in
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php
"Do not use Apache 2.0 and PHP in a production environment
neither on Unix nor on Windows." is still valid.

Compiling Apache 1.3.9 & PHP 3.0.12 to use Oracle 8.1.5 on SuSe 6.2

Hi!
I am trying to compile the above packets but am running into massive problems.
PHP3 compiles well, if i try to use the "normal" static module for Apache, but the Apache configure script says that it needs an ANSI C compiler and stops.
I am using GCC 2.7.2.3 with the bugfixes from SuSe.
Since that did not work I tried the configuration as a Dynamic Module. The Apache "Readme.config" explains two ways to do so, but the first has the same problem with GCC and the second (via APXS) compiles Apache without problems, but PHP3 wont compile since it does not find a library. The exact error is: "/usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -lclntsh: No such file or directory"
I found a libclntsh.so.8.0 in the oracle/lib directory, but since i fumbled around with this library (i tried ln -s libclntsh.so.8.0 libclntsh.so) sqlplus says libclntsh.so.8.0: cannot find file data: no such file or directory (even now that the link is deleted again).
And PHP still wont compile. Any ideas would be welcome.
P.S.: Is it normal that Oracle has to be told NOT to create a database during install, TO create a database???
We worked for 3 days on the Oracle installation and that was the only way to install Oracle without errors.
thx

Need help regarding Apache httpd.conf and PHP setup.

Hi,
I am facing problem setting up my PHP and apache setup. I have installed Apache2.2 Root path = C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2
I have also installed PHP in my C:\PHP drive earlier. I moved this PHP folder to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2 just to keep all things at one place.
I have copied php5ts.dll at 4 locations - C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2 \bin , %SYSTEMROOT%\System32, %SYSTEMROOT%\system and %SYSTEMROOT%. I have also added these paths in Environment variable 'PATH'.
In httpd.conf file entries are as follows:
ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2"
I have added these 3 lines as
LoadModule php5_module php/php5apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
When restarting apache http server I get message as:
httpd.exe error ...... cannot load C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\php\php5ts.dll into the server. The specified module could not be found.
I have checked that php5ts.dll DLL exist at above path. Please help me out urgently.

Sorry I don't have Windows available to check the paths. With recent versions
of PHP I never copied files out of the php source directory.
Make sure the Oracle 10g Instant Client is in your PATH environment variable.
You could try using the PHP Windows MSI installer.

Apache error virtual() and PHP

Using DW8's server behaviors, DW writes a virtual() statement
to include the connection to MySQL. I get an error (standard
windows looking error dialog box) saying that: "Apache HTTP Server
has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience." In the Apache error log it is listed as: Error in
my_thread_global_end(): 252 threads didn't exit.
If I use a require_once() in its place, I dont get the error
with Apache but DW keeps re-writing the virtual() statement and
gives me the nasty (!) in the server behaviors panel.
Anyone have any suggestions?
PS - I am using DW8, php5.2.4, Apache2.2.6.

I've answered this in your other thread, but for the benefit
of anyone
who stumbles across this one instead, I'll paste the answer
here too:
Dreamweaver 8 and CS3 use virtual() if you select links
relative to the
site root in the Local Info category of the site definition
dialog box.
Since the PHP include and require commands cannot interpret
site-root-relative links, you should select document-relative
links when
defining a PHP site. In cases where you need to use
site-root-relative
links (such as in an include file), override the default link
style in
the Create Link dialog box (there's a drop-down menu at the
bottom left
of the dialog box that lets you select whether the link is
relative to
the site root or to the document).
The reason virtual() probably doesn't work for you is that
it's an
Apache-specific function that works only when PHP is
installed as an
Apache module.

Copy the latest file (only a part of file name and extension is known) from source to destination (VB)

Hi,
I need to copy a file (latest) that is present in Temp folder to AppData/Roaming folder. But I know that the file name starts with "MSI" and the file extension is ".log" (like MSI*.log where * is a random hexadecimal number). Also, I need
to get the path for Temp and AppData/Roaming programmatically. After copying to the destination, I need to rename the file as well. I am very new to VB Script. How can I do this? Can you please give me some examples?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Prasad

Can you post your script? What have you done so far.
I recommend a little research in how to use default folders although they will help onl;y the logged in user.
Why do you thing you need to do this: You can always tell the installer to place the log file in a place other than temp.

Copy text frames and paste in place from source file to opened docs

Hello All,
I have one source indd file which is having 10 small text frames (40pt square) in both pages (Facing pages, Left and Right) on a master page. In that master page there is no frame except that 10 small text frames and the text frame contains the paragraph style called "Cat_Cont".
I have opened some files and I want to copy that 10 small text frames from the source file and paste in place into the opened InDesign Docs master pages. I hope while copying that text frames, paragraph style also would copy. Could anyone help for this, please?
If anything not clear plz let me know.
Thanks in Advance,
Thiru

Haguichi won't build from AUR, and won't build from source tarball.

I managed to get Hamachi installed. Go me. But I like having a frontend for things like that, so I tried to build Haguichi from the AUR. Didn't work. I downloaded the source tarball, and running ./configure returned the same error as yaourt.

I made sure the dependencies were installed and updated to the latest versions, but it still won't build. What am I doing wrong?

[Solved] Apps compiled from source never work and a security question

Gentlemen,
I'm a Linux noob but in spite of that I managed to install Archlinux thanks to a fine How To Wiki.
1. I have a question regarding compiling from source in Arch - does it differ from other linuxdistros?
With other distros I normally install in /usr/local and that has worked flawless.
Take Pacman for instance: although I can see there is this Opera app available in the repo (via arch's home page -> search package), the 'pacman -S opera' tells me the app doesn't exist.
I've tried to download and install it from source following Opera's own 'how to' but the app fails to start, after a successful installation.
Same goes with other apps such as f-prot antivirus.
Did I miss something important here?
2. I installed Arch over FTP. How safe is it, considering I'm not behind a router and the iptables/firestarter was only installed after xfce4 was installed. What about open ports and such? I know there aren't many services enabled/listening but I noticed couple of daemons such as portmap being active during the installation process.
Thanks

a pkgbuild is pretty simple once you get used to it,
you may be put off by packaging standards, you can ignore them, they are only for people intending to share
with other via the AUR for example.
you can copy one of the existign ones, either the prototypes or jsut anyone from the aur,
then change stuff you fidn necessary, like pkgname, pkgver, etc.
and add the same build commands you'd use otherwise to the build()
and usualy for a make install, just add DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg etc.,... just practice you'll get the hang of it very quickly
Hi Kumico, thanks for the tip.
Or I could try using Arch's default paths as long as the applications don't mind. But it's nice to have an alternative solution should any trouble arise.
Regarding pkgbuild, I'll probably start to use it when I feel more comfy with the Arch environment itself.
Using the terminal to perform...well, just about everything, rather than having a nice gui isn't actually bad, but there sure is a transition for a newbie to adapt to.

Apache 1.3.33 and PHP 4.3.11 compiled in

The package
Here are the good stabile versions of both Apache and PHP including the following stuff:
- support for these databases: mysql, postgresql, firebird
- gdi support
- mod_ssl along with a dummy certificate
- eaccelerator for PHP and the default configuration for it
- mod_gzip for pages compression
- mod_security for ids system (see Snort and making its rules compatible with mod_security). Also remember to disable rules if you get problems with PHP developement. mod_security tends to be too aggressive at first with these default rules.
The files
PKGBUILD
httpd
apache13.install
http.conf.d
httpd.conf.mod_gzip
httpd.conf.regression-v2
httpd.logrotate
Done
02.05.2005
- fixed apache13.install to properly stop the server before unistall
- set eaccelerator to be configured more like it is in cactus's package
01.05.2005
- backing up etc/php.ini and etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
- added logrotate support code from Judd's package
- phpize is now called from startdir instead of /usr/bin/phpize for eaccelerator
30.04.2005
- the package depends now on my firebirddb package. It was needed because
libgds.so is needed when firebird support is compiled in
- disabled imagick for the time being - got to find out how to make it compile properly by default
- cleaned up the code that sets up php (the manual file copying doesn't seem to be needed anymore with 4.3.11)
- made phpize to be called from ${startdir}
- set mod_security filtering to Off as default
29.04.2005 - updated php to v. 4.3.11
- Tested using Gallery 1.4.4-pl5 and my own project (a lot of database activity and file handling)
28.04.2005
- fixed eaccelerator and it now works (php.ini had eaccelerator's settings inserted wrong way with "-marks). The execution of some scripts that took before 0.075 - 0.09 seconds now only takes 0.03-0.04
27.04.2005
- cleaned up code a bit and old comments and disabled cookie format checking for mod_security that was causing 500 error
Todo and thoughts
<i>10.05.2005</i> - found a great guide about securely setting up apache and php
- it would be really great to implement a curses-based configuration where the PKGBUILD would be edited according to choices the users makes (because there are changes needed in many parts of the file) - this way the package would really be for everyone
- deleting default apache manual
- to get imagick to compile- graphicsmagick installation to work properly or to make it optional
(ignore the text about graphicmagic in PKGBUILD - it was just for my own tests)

I built it today and tested again and compiling part went just fine. Only apache13.install was missing - it had pre-remove commands (if server is already running to stop it). Then removed the older same package (pacman -R) and replaced it with the new one. Then started up apache and had 500 error - it was caused by mod_security. Turned off cookie filter in httpd.conf.regression-v2 (SecFilterCheckCookieFormat Off) and then it started up fine.
The eaccelerator did not appear on php info page, so got to fix setting it up... Please let me know what else seems suspicious to you and what might cause errors.

About building Apache and PHP from source

Hello,
I figured my question should be posted here, if it should be done somewhere else, I apologize.
I'm in the process of exploring solaris 9 (I have RH5 - 9, FC1-3 and FreeBSD 4.7> experience). I was wondering which tools I need to build stuff from source, like Apache and PHP. I am aware of www.sunfreeware.com, which helped me out with mc and other useful stuff.
The problem I see is that when I install packages from sunfreeware.com, I must rely on the package maintainer to release a new package for newer Apache/PHP versions (with bug/security fixes in it). I plan to run a public webserver on this config, so I figured it'd be best to build what I need from the source so I can update it anytime I like.
What I installed from sunfreeware.com:
autconf
automake
gcc
make
bison
expect
mc
libiconv
ncurses
flex
What else do I need to successfully build software from the source?
Are there any people running a public web/dns/mailserver on Solaris (whatever the version)?
If someone could answer to those questions, I'd be most grateful.
Bas

Have you installed the companion CD? All you need is there.
Have you tried to compile?
If so, what errors do you get?

Need Urgent Help with Apache and PHP

I have been struggling with apache and php for a week now and I finally broke down to post a message.
I have apache 1.3 running on my mac mini g4 with 10.4.9 and I installed sql. I went to the entropy website and downloaded php5 to install without knowing I already had php4 on the machine. I installed 5 but could not get it to work. I then went back to httpd.conf and tried to install php4 by uncommenting out the loadmodule and addmodule lines. I restarted apache but php still did not work. I tested the phpinfo.php script but all I got was the script in Safari and not the actual page. At the moment, I have php4 and php5 on my machine but can't get either one to work. I am sure there is an easy fix but I don't know it. Please help.

The problem is not terribly complicated, but Apache will not start with the entropy file in the folder
/etc/httpd/users/
Let me experiment on you. Rename the entropy file and then try to start Apache. To do this, open Terminal and paste this command:
<pre>sudo mv /etc/httpd/users/+entropy.conf /etc/httpd/users/+entropy<pre>
Now check the Apache configuration:
<pre>apachectl configtest<pre>
If it says "Syntax OK", start Apache:
<pre>sudo apachectl start<pre>
Since we only disabled the entropy file, you should be able to enable PHP5 with some more advanced configuring.

Apache and PHP not working together

Hey all,
Ok, I reinstalled my server yesterday and followed the LAMP wiki to set up Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Now, I got Apache and MySql working great, but when I go to directory that has a .php file to open, my brower is asking me what application I want to open with the file.
I have set up this to handle the docuemtns:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml index.html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
and still no go.
Anyone got this to work?
Thanks!!!
