Apache - running configure

[Dan Hardison]

I'm new to Apache and need to run the "configure" script. I need to recompile in order to add a new 3rd-party module.

With the "NON-HP" version of Apache (1.3.27) the 'configure' script is located in /opt/apache_1.3.27/src. However, with my "HP Depot" version of Apache the src directory is not available. I also cannot find the 'configure' script anywhere under /opt/apache. Where is the 'configure' script located for the HP version?

TIA,
Dan

Hi
I am afraid you have no apache source - if you want to recompile it you have to download it from www.apache.org

You downloaded a pre-compiled APACHE for HP_UX. As there is no need to re-compile it there will be no configure script.

Hi, Dan!
At first you could understand what kind of destribution you have:
1.If your destribution is like:

apache-1.3.27-sd-11.00.depot.gz

you dont need ./configure, because this is
binary distribution, no source. All you
need to do is:
#gunzip apache-1.3.27-sd-11.00.depot.gz
#tar -xvf apache-1.3.27-sd-11.00.depot
and you have already installed version. You can go on forward with httpd.conf

2.If your distributin is like:

apache-1.3.27-ss-...tar-01.gz
then you must do compilation like:
#gunzip apache...
#make
#make install
#./configure

then you really need to find ./configure-file.

what you want to do is read httpd.conf and make necessary changes there.

find / -name httpd.conf

Will tell you where it is.

vi the file, its extremely well documented, make changes for virutal nameservers and whatnot.

/sbin/init.d/apache stop
/sbin/init.d/apache start

I am not aware of a web based configure tool for apache. I'm aware the one for Linux is not worth using.

You may have to download the source seperately if you want to customize the HP version.

So basically there's no way to add new modules to the pre-compiled HP-UX version?

Steven,

Does HP offer the source or do I need to get it specifically from apache.org?

Dan

[Rainer von Bongartz]

Not quite; Apache supports dynamically loaded modules as well.


These are loaded during run-time.
Check the apache docs at www.apache.org
