Worked for 2.0.59.

Thanks.

OK, my bad, but an odd one. After spending LOTS of time digging through the build files and experimenting, I tracked the problem down to a missing installbuilddir. Tracking back up led me all the way to the first step, where I had copied Richard’s ServLog layout in Safari and pasted it into the terminal window where I was editing config.layout. Lo and behold, the copy/paste somehow errored, copying ‘installbuilddir’ as ‘instalbuildir’. It also copied ‘error’ as ‘eror’. These are the only 2 lines in the layout that have a double-letter, so it is some bug in the tools I was using at the time.

Fixing this, it all now builds fine (2.0.59) on 10.4.7, FWIW (my earlier reference to 10.3.9 and Xcode 1.5 was misleading).

On 10.3.9, running XCode 1.5 (not sure that would have any relevance), these patches do not work for 2.0.55 or 2.0.59. The make install step complains that libtool lacks a destination. Googling showed precious little, although there was an intriguing but AFAICT unresolved issue with building a Tomcat (?) module (mod_jk). Thoughts?

Actually it will compile Apache 2.2.x VERY well and quite quickly. However, five modules have gone away, or were renamed, and fifteen others have been added. Not to mention that you MUST recompile PHP, and (of course) any other 3rd party modules that you are using.

I tried this. Wow what a mess. So now I’m using 2.0.58 with the settings that Richard provided. Thank you.

Thanks for this tutorial, Richard. Sad to say, I’ve never actually compiled anything from source before. I was nervous about messing up my server setup (server logistics installations), but your article here was easy to follow. Everything worked perfectly!

You are a lifesaver… I had an angry mob hunting me because they couldn’t get their 64kb+ files from our server

Thanks again!

I get the error

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log’ for more details.
configure failed for srclib/apr

Please assist…

If you’re keeping your old (2.0.48 in our case) httpd.conf, note that you now need a “LoadModule ldap_module” before the existing “LoadModule auth_ldap_module” line.

Failure to do this will give you a server that fails to start up — but it will thankfully log a helpful message in errors_log.

We didn’t need LDAP, so I just commented out the old line …

Apache is now up to version 2.2.0. Have you had a chance to test it yet?

Is it compatible with the Server Logistics package?

Richard5: I haven’t tested it yet but it’s on the agenda for the coming time. If you use the above instructions the result will be compatible with the Server Logistics package.
