Custom Apache Build System

I'm not sure if editing quotas will cause any problems; certainly it won't if command line editing of quotas won't.

The max quotas shown in the panel are in the DA user configs.... the disk quotas are there to simply force them quotas as an actual limit...

so you could modify the disk quotas and it would allow overages etc, later causing problems when you have accounts in DA showing used/max 150/100

Sendmail, yes its common sense, although you must consider the fact users with little knowledge of DA may go playing, reenabling sendmail etc etc... you get the idea


If you don't do anything with webmin you wouldn't do from the command line you should be okay.

Totally disagree. With the command line you dont have a list of menus with nifty little options that make you think "hmmm do I try this"

i tried to rebuild zend but got error

[root@tk customapache]# ./build zend
File already exists: .tar.gz

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

thanks ProwebUK, i did try that before but failed, in the end i downloaded zend from zend website, and installed it, no problem throught :)
 
Hello,

What OS are you using? The "ZENDNAME" value in the build script is set based on the operating system version number.

I also just had a look and Enterprise wasn't added to the build script, so give it a try now (I've added a few changes).

Hello all,

I just finished a beta version of the apache build system for DirectAdmin. It allows everyone to rebuild apache easily and customize php more easily.

Current Version: 1.1.8

Comes with:
Apache 1.3.29
mod_ssl 2.8.16
mod_perl 1.27
php 4.3.4
zend 2.1.0a
gd 2.0.15
libjpeg 6b
libpng 1.2.5
libmcrypt-2.5.7
zlib 1.1.4
curl 7.10.5
mod_frontpage 1.6.1
Frontpage 5.0.2.2510

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 = 4.3.4
apache bin = /usr/sbin

Is this still current? I have never done this custom Apache Build and I would love to get Zend going.
I'm using FreeBSD 4.8 do you think that these scripts will work for me? I only have my production machine right now. SHould I try this?

thanks,brandt
 
Hello,

The build script is current.. some of those versions are not. I'll update them shortly. We currently have zend 2.5.1 (May 12th, 2004).. it was added about a month ago.

If you have DirectAdmin, you have already run the build script. This script is part of the installation of DirectAdmin.

Hi,

John, could you perhaps add Apache 1.3.31 ? (http://httpd.kookel.org/httpd/apache_1.3.31.tar.gz)

Thanks in advance :)

@ Dixiesys:
Just install Freetype:
Code: 
cd /usr/src
wget -q [url]http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/freetype/freetype-2.1.8.tar.gz[/url]
tar xzpf freetype-2.1.8.tar.gz
cd freetype-2.1.8
./configure
make
make install
cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
Edit the configure.php file; add:
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib
If it isn't the last line don't forget the ' \'.
My current configure.php mods/changes or stuff that isn't in the normal configure.php (i think):
Code: 
        --with-pdflib \
        --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib

Note that i'm not sure if the make make install actually works for freetype as i guessed that part :D

Hope you can use it...

edit:
Don't forget to rebuild everything with the customapache builder afterwards. It shouldn't overwrite your new configure.php
 
I'll update the script to Apache 1.3.31 later today (have to test and also get the new mod_ssl, which I assume is out too).

I'm confused, John.

And if I'm confused, I bet a few others are as well.

When something included in your Custom Apache Build System gets updated, possibly for a security issue, just what is it we have to do?

Do we have to find the software first, install it in a particular directory or directory first?

Or what?

Thanks.

You have to wait for it to be updated by DA, update then run the script.

A pain, but I have a project to try patch up the waits... I could also consider a way to use local packages, although it would be under advanced and hidden deep in the documentation so only users who know what their doing would play (hopefully!)

I'm still a bit confused but I'm getting there...

1) wait until DA issues updates. Where do I find them?

2) update

What do I have to do to update? Just download the updates into my DA system, or unpack them, install them with RPM? what?

3) then run the script?

Meaning the Custom Apache script I presume.

Can you help me fill in the blanks?

Thanks.

The script uses

Code: 
[url]http://files.directadmin.com/services/customapache/[/url]

If you run a ./build update the latest packages will be in your custom apache directory (/usr/local/directadmin/customapache) you can then get these and then download them from the link above and do what you want with them..... note: some packages are not standard AFAIK

At the moment customapache uses half rpm half source build (for different things... mysql is source for example where as httpd is not..

Trying to fade out the mix with my script by going all RPM, since RH is a rpm based distro thats how it should be, and doing things that way will stop broken dependencies with httpd as it currently does for most (if you dont realise it now, you will in the future).

Generally, updates are announced here then you just run:

./build clean
./build update (which downloads the new package sources and rpms)
./build X(or all)

Correct ;)

Thanks, Chris.

I've got a bunch of servers I'm responsible for I want to update.

Any known problems?

Thanks.
