Operating Systems Linux Gentoo compiling applications with Centos Post 302245047 by otheus on Thursday 9th of October 2008 08:03:49 AM

I don't see why you shouldn't compile from source. In fact, with GenToo, that's pretty much all one can do. With CentOS, they've simply provided binaries that are part of RedHat Enterprise Linux source RPMs. You can always download the source RPMs and do an "rpmbuild", but with adding your own CFLAGS, etc.

But if you want to go purely source, I don't see a problem with it. It would be the easier way of customizing the config file the way you like it. You can copy the config.status file from Solaris and then on linux, do a "./configure -r" I think.

The axps thing is tricky -- you have to compile Apache and THEN install it and THEN compile the modules and support programs (like PHP, MySQL, etc). To see what came with Apache as a binary, run "httpd -l", and "httpd -V".

NAME
Apache::Qpsmtpd - a mod_perl-2 connection handler for qpsmtpd SYNOPSIS
Listen 0.0.0.0:25 smtp AcceptFilter smtp none ## "smtp" and the AcceptFilter are required for Linux, FreeBSD ## with apache >= 2.1.5, for others it doesn't hurt. See also ## http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#acceptfilter ## and http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#listen LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so <Perl> use lib qw( /path/to/qpsmtpd/lib ); use Apache::Qpsmtpd; $ENV{QPSMTPD_CONFIG} = "/path/to/qpsmtpd/config"; </Perl> <VirtualHost _default_:25> PerlModule Apache::Qpsmtpd PerlProcessConnectionHandler Apache::Qpsmtpd # can specify this in config/plugin_dirs if you wish: PerlSetVar qpsmtpd.plugin_dirs /path/to/qpsmtpd/plugins PerlSetVar qpsmtpd.loglevel 4 </VirtualHost> DESCRIPTION
This module implements a mod_perl/apache 2.0 connection handler that turns Apache into an SMTP server using Qpsmtpd. It also allows you to set single-valued config options (such as loglevel, as seen above) using "PerlSetVar" in httpd.conf. This module should be considered beta software as it is not yet widely tested. However it is currently the fastest way to run Qpsmtpd, so if performance is important to you then consider this module. BUGS
Probably a few. Make sure you test your plugins carefully. The Apache scoreboard (/server-status/) mostly works and shows connections, but could do with some enhancements specific to SMTP. AUTHOR
Matt Sergeant, <matt@sergeant.org> Some credit goes to <mock@obscurity.org> for Apache::SMTP which gave me the inspiration to do this. perl v5.14.2 2009-04-02 Apache::Qpsmtpd(3pm)
