Apache Failure: Can't open shared library: /usr/lib/libnsl.1

[RonHoover]

We have an HP-UX server running Oracle 9i database, Cold Fusion and HP Apache with Netegrity Siteminder for third party authentication. I have to upgrade the database to 10g. The runInstaller pre-check recommended the following:

The Kernel changes were also applied. The database starts up fine. but when I try and start Apache, the following error is thrown:
Syntax error on line 176 of /opt/hpapache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /web/sso/netegrity/webagent/bin/libmod_sm20.sl into server: Can't open shared library: /usr/lib/libnsl.1

Line 176 of httpd.conf is:
LoadModule sm_module "/web/sso/netegrity/webagent/bin/libmod_sm20.sl"
libmod_sm20.sl trys to load /usr/lib/libnsl.1 and that is where the failure is!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Ron,

Can you comment the line and start apache ? Is it working ?

[RonHoover]

Arun,

Thanks for the response!
I commented out the following 2 lines and it starts:
LoadModule sm_module "/web/sso/netegrity/webagent/bin/libmod_sm20.sl"
SmInitFile "/opt/hpapache2/conf/WebAgent.conf"

But the applications are all coded to use Siteminder variables so that is why I need those lines.

Hi Ron,

Can you do a "ldd" and "chatr" for /web/sso/netegrity/webagent/bin/libmod_sm20.sl

Hi Ron,

Here is the problem, /usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /vobs/devel/agentframework/Release/HP-UX/lib/libsmeventlog.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory


I think, at the of build you got hardcorded library. Either get the library from above location and put it in /usr/lib or compile with static library.
