Custom Apache Build System

[DirectAdmin Support]

Correct, I removed it a long time ago. I considered giving away all of the server info away slightly insecure. If anyone wants to post theirs, be my guest If it wasn't an active data server for, it might be a different story, but since we need it, I removed the link. Also, it's no longer a standard compile of apache as I removed the bulk of everything else that wasn't required for it since as a plain old file server, it doesn't need any of the bells and whistles that our usual apache compiles get.

[CentOS5]

Installed centos 5.2 with DA no problems, i have few questions, it has installed devoct instead of vm-Pop3d, can i remove devcot and install vm via custombuild?

I am asking this because moving from freebsd box and need to back up user data (email etc) and move, if i have vm-pop3d on freebsd and devcot on centos will i have problems, also if i use devcot i have just wasted gigs of space on var which i made 30gb.

Thanks

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 68 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

hello,

don't know it for sure but can you now try phpinfo() in a php file on the server. look up if perl and if it is there.

if i log in on server and do the next.

cd /usr/lib/apache/
ls

is see the next

httpd.exp  libphp5.so  mod_perl.so  mod_suphp.so

you also need it else you have php not compiled with mod_perl. so look if you can rebuild it with support for mod_perl

Hello all,

This thread holds information about our customapache build script. It allows everyone to rebuild apache easily and customize php more easily.

Comes with:
Apache 1.3.33
mod_ssl 2.8.22
mod_perl 1.29
php 4.3.11
zend 2.5.7
gd 2.0.33
libjpeg 6b
libpng 1.2.7
libmcrypt 2.5.7
zlib 1.2.1
curl 7.12.3
mod_frontpage 1.6.1
Frontpage 5.0.2.2510
mhash 0.9.1
zzip 0.10.82

As root, type:

cd /usr/local/directadmin
mkdir customapache
cd customapache
wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/customapache/build
chmod 755 build
./build update
./build all

And if you want to have Zend, after the whole thing finishes, type:
./build zend

and answer all questions.
Zend install = /usr/local/Zend
php.ini = /usr/local/lib
Apache config dir = /etc/httpd/conf
php = 4.3.9
apache bin = /usr/sbin

it will try to restart the server, which might fail, so type
service httpd restart

I've tested it on my box at home, and our test box. Let me know how it goes for you guys. Takes about 15 minutes on a 750Mhz.

You can have a look at the <? phpinfo(); ?> that it will produce here:
http://files.directadmin.com/info.php

If you have any comments on the default ./configure for apache and php, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks,

John

custombuild gives you 2 options, simple press '2' when building to get the latest software..

problem with it

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 19 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/libperl.so into server: /usr/lib/apache/libperl.so: undefined symbol: boot_DynaLoader

My opinion: You should use custombuild instead of customapache. Since it works much better then customapache.

missed the note by a few minutes sounds ok though

A few comments on the PHP info. (comparing it to one of mine)

- variables_order = GPCS (what about EGPCS?)
- Max Requests = Per Child: 1000 - Keep Alive: off - Max Per Connection: 100 (or Per Child: 0 - Keep Alive: on - Max Per Connection: 100 )

PHP config missing.
- bcmath
- calendar
- imap
- mcrypt (very important)
- pear

Is this suppose to be like easyApache in Cpanel?
That will be great if DA can have that. It's one of the things that make Cpanel the lion king.

I'm just curious on what are you using. I'm aware of APACHE on XAMPP and also WAMP but those to have different verion of APACHE. XAMPP is more updated compare to WAMP.
