Problem installing Cold Fushion 5.0 on HP-UX 11.00 Apache 1.3.12

[Rich Kloempken]

I am trying to install Cold Fusion 5.0 on a HP-UX 11 on which I installed the HP distributed version of Apache. The Apache software is configured to support dynaminic modules (DSO). I am having a problem in that the Cold Fusion installation want me to vi the src/Makefile and add the statement 'LIBS1= -lcl -lm -lpthread'. The HP distribution does not include the src directory and Cold Fusion tech support states that I have to recompile Apache.

Has anyone encountered this problem or a similar problem in trying to install add-ons to Apache? Has anyone been able to get the source code from HP? Any thoughts/qguidance would be appreciated.

Hi Rich,

Although I have not run Apache on HPUX, I have had good luck compiling Apache source on several different systems. Go to apache.org and get the latest source and give it a shot, I'll bet you it will work.

Hi,

You will need to get the source from
www.apache.org
I went through this very issue less than
three weeks ago. I already had 1.3.19
downloaded, so I went with that.

The procedure of the compile will need to
be followed otherwise it *will* fail.
If you have an ANSI/C compiler it is easy, or
you will need to get the GNU C compiler.

http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/
and download the apache source which is
currently 1.3.22
Follow the instructions on page 59 of
the Cold Fusion install guide.

Have a good read of the INSTALL file that
comes as part of the package. Once compiled
it should then work.

When compiling I recall using this string
# ./configure --prefix=PREFIX --enable-module=rewrite --enable-shared=rewrite
# make
If you already haven't done so, add this to
the src/Makefile on or about line 54
LIBS1= -lcl -lm lpthread
# make install
