problems with Apache
I have a Solaris 8 box and need to install Apache 2.0.55 on it. First thing I tried was compiling from source code. During the make phase, I got the following errors:

Quote:
/bin/bash /export/home/smartin/httpd-2.0.55/srclib/apr/libtool --silent --mode=compile gcc -g -O2 -pthreads -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSOLARIS2=8 -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_REENTRANT -I../../include -I../../include/arch/unix -I../../include/arch/unix -c sendrecv.c && touch sendrecv.lo
sendrecv.c: In function `apr_socket_sendfile':
sendrecv.c:852: error: `sendfilevec_t' undeclared (first use in this function)
sendrecv.c:852: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
sendrecv.c:852: error: for each function it appears in.)
sendrecv.c:852: error: `sfv' undeclared (first use in this function)
sendrecv.c:871: error: `SFV_FD_SELF' undeclared (first use in this function)
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `sendrecv.lo'
Current working directory /export/home/smartin/httpd-2.0.55/srclib/apr/network_io/unix
*** Error code 1

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive'
Current working directory /export/home/smartin/httpd-2.0.55/srclib
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive'
Then I tried downloading the binaries. I tried the one available from Apache's site and the one from sunfreeware.com, with the same results. I run "apachectl start", it doesn't return any errors. But the HTTP server is not running, either. I'm trying "lynx localhost" and all I get is "HTTP request sent; waiting for response". If I do "ps -fe|grep http", I get the following:

Quote:
root 1011 1 0 14:26:30 ? 0:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start
It doesn't quite look right, I think there should be multiple httpd processes. If I run "apachectl stop". I get the following:

Quote:
httpd (no pid file) not running
There's no PID file in the /usr/local/apache2/logs directory. And no errors in the error log.

So I'm really stuck now, I can't compile Apache, and the precompiled builds don't work. I don't know if there's a relation between the two. Any suggestions? Any help will be appreciated!

O.K., I'm going to give this a shot.
In my opinion (not expert) there is a lot to compiling on a Sun box. I always opt for a Sun compiler. It 'knows' where libraries & include files reside. I have had MAJOR headaches wih Solaris 8, 9, & 10 using GCC. [Besides, the Sun compiler is NOW free.]

The Apache from sunfreeware is what I used when I was running Solaris 8. Do an 'ldd' on the httpd program. I just loaded the Apache version you mention and got:

baradur[root]#/usr/local/apache2/bin
ldd httpd
libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2
libaprutil-1.so.0 => (file not found)
libgdbm.so.3 => (file not found)
libdb-4.2.so => /opt/sfw/lib/libdb-4.2.so
libexpat.so.0 => /usr/sfw/lib/libexpat.so.0
libiconv.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.2
libapr-1.so.0 => (file not found)
libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1
libsendfile.so.1 => /lib/libsendfile.so.1
librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1
libsocket.so.1 => /lib/libsocket.so.1
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1
libpthread.so.1 => /lib/libpthread.so.1
libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1
libgcc_s.so.1 => /opt/sfw/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
libaio.so.1 => /lib/libaio.so.1
libmd5.so.1 => /lib/libmd5.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /lib/libmp.so.2
libscf.so.1 => /lib/libscf.so.1
libdoor.so.1 => /lib/libdoor.so.1
libuutil.so.1 => /lib/libuutil.so.1
/platform/SUNW,Ultra-60/lib/libc_psr.so.1
/platform/SUNW,Ultra-60/lib/libmd5_psr.so.1
As you can see I've got some libraries that Apache depends on that do NOT exist on my machine. Do this on your box, and see what shows up as "file not found".

THAT is where to start. It will probably take more. :>D

Let us know !!

problem solved. basically there was in issue with sendfile(), which was fixed in the Solaris patch 111297-01. I found a post about it on some forum even before I posted my question. But here's the really good part. showrev -p showed that patch as installed, so I assumed that it was indeed installed. But after struggling for 3 days to get this thing to work, I finally decided to check if the files in this patch were actually present on the system, and sure enough, it turns out that /usr/include/sys/sendfile.h was missing! so I reinstalled the patch, recompiled, and it's now working.

O.K. I can go to sleep now. Since you learn something every day, this makes TWO things !!

Thank You.
