Building apache from source / LoadModules problem

Post #1 of 5 (825 views)

Hello all. I am trying to compile apache 1.3.22 to use .so modules but I
am having problems. I am also compiling php into it too.

When I use the AddModule and LoadModule commands and run apachectl
configtest, I get the following error.
Syntax error on line 206 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'LoadModule', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module
not included in the server configuration

I also ran a httpd -l and the module I am adding is not included. I have
searched the archives and didn't really find anything helpful.

Below are the commands that I am running to compile the sources.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=most --enable-shared=max
make
cd ../php-4.1.1
./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.22 --enable-track-vars
make
make install
cd ../apache_1.3.22
./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
make
make install

What am I missing?

Thanks

CDitty

When you did "httpd -l" was mod_so in there? If not, you can't use
LoadModule.

Shouldn't this line also have
"--prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=most --enable-shared=max"?

Not there.

Are you saying the first configure line should be in ""s? If not. then
that is the same line as I have above. My line is just
wrapped in the email.

Afraid I don't understand.

Nope. You configure apache twice: once before compiling php and once after.
I'm guessing you should use the same options both times (except for adding
the activate-module on the last one). The way you have it, you aren't
enabling shared modules when you do your final configuration of apache, so
you don't get mod_so included.

In other words, add "--enable-shared=max" to your final configure (and
perhaps --enable-module=most and --prefix=... as well).

Ok.. I recompiled like you suggested below. mod_so is there now.

Thanks
