Got problem when building 64-bit Apache Web Server on HP-UX Itanium.

[went_2]

I failed to build a 64-bit Apache Web Server on HP-UX Itanium. Can anybody help me? Thank you.
Following is what I did:

I tried following commands to build 64-bit Apache Web Server ::
export CFLAGS="-mlp64"
export CPPFLAGS="-mlp64"
./configure --prefix=
make
make install

After that, I successfully got Apache Web Server installed, and I got following information by "httpd -V" command ::
bash-3.00$ ./httpd -V
Server version: Apache/2.0.55
Server built: Jun 27 2006 19:51:23
Server's Module Magic Number: 20020903:11
Architecture: 64-bit
...

But the Web Server cannot start, not giving me any error message or response.


(If I add one line in httpd.conf file to load a customized module, I will get an error when I try to start the Web Server :" aCC runtime: Use of "-mt" must be consistent during both compilation and linking.")

Hi,

This could be a multithreaded issue. Export CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS="-mlp64 -mt" and try to build it. Also, what is # file httpd ?

Then I got following error:

bash-3.00$ export CFLAGS="-mlp64 -mt"
bash-3.00$ export CPPFLAGS="-mlp64 -mt"
bash-3.00$ sudo ./configure --prefix=

Hi Arun,

What do you mean by "what is # file httpd ?" ?
^_^

[went_2]

is this what u want? this is the access control on the file:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 35385 Jul 10 13:34 httpd.conf

[Arunvijai_4]

Hi,

# file httpd will show you architecture related information. Do a # man file for more information. Make sure you use "-mt" everywhere. Also, have you created necessarry user/group for Apache ?

-Arun

[went_2]

# file httpd:
httpd: ELF-64 executable object file - IA64

I am using root user to install and start apache.

[Arunvijai_4]

Hi,

# file httpd:
httpd: ELF-64 executable object file - IA64

I am using root user to install and start apache.

I dont think it is good to start apache as root user. Try creating "www" user and start it. Also, check this out

Errors During Start-up

If Apache suffers a fatal problem during startup, it will write a message describing the problem either to the console or to the ErrorLog before exiting. One of the most common error messages is "Unable to bind to Port ...". This message is usually caused by either:

* Trying to start the server on a privileged port when not logged in as the root user; or
* Trying to start the server when there is another instance of Apache or some other web server already bound to the same Port.

Now i am trying to build it again with following command:
# export CFLAGS="-mlp64 -mt"
# export CPPFLAGS="-mlp64 -mt"
# ./configure=

but the ./configure command failed with following information:

Please see the config.log in attachement.

[went_2]

because i am integrating Apache with another application, it's required to start Apache using root user.

I used root user to build and start 32-bit Apache, and didn't face any problem.

Hi,

I dont see any errors in config.log. But, i strongly feel you should go with aCC for -mt option. I dont have a 11.23 with GCC installed to check this. Try installing aCC and compile again.

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B9007AAEVAL

-Arun

[went_2]

aCC has been installed on this machine.

[Arunvijai_4]

Hi,

Then, try building with aCC and +DD64 option along with -mt

-Arun

[went_2]

I can compile apache with no error using
#export CFLAGS="-mlp64" (no -mt)
#export CPPFLAGS="-mlp64" (no -mt)
Then I found following errors in Apache error_log when I tried to start it.

(if "-mt" is used, the compilation will faile.)

[went_2]

ok, let me try.

[went_2]

I am not familiar with Unix system, can you tell me how to specify aCC to be used when compiling?
Setting some flags before running ./configure ?

[Arunvijai_4]

Hi,

You can just use # export CC= before starting ./configure

-Arun

[went_2]

aCC is installed in /opt/aCC directory.
I tried:
export CC=/opt/aCC/bin/aCC
export CFLAGS="+DD64 -mt"
export CPPFLAGS="+DD64 -mt"
./configre --prefix=<...>

but got error like this:

Hi Went,

Which version of aCC you have in your system ? # what /opt/aCC/bin/aCC will be helpful. Try to patch it to recent version and do it one more time.

Also, do a # swverify to make sure your installation is correct.

-Arun

[went_2]

The aCC version is:
HP aC++/C for Itanium(R)-based systems B3910B A.05.60 [Aug 25 2004]

But for swverify, the system say:
swverify: command not found

[Arunvijai_4]

Hi,

aCC version seems to be old, You can try with this latest patch PHSS_34047 or PHSS_34351. You can download from, http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do entering the patch ID.

Also, Try # /usr/sbin/swverify

-Arun

[went_2]

#swverify say nothing.

I need to call IT people to upgrade aCC.
I will try again after upgrading. thank u.
