Custom Apache Build System

FC3 yum update with DA

Hi, I am new to DA... be gentle please :)
I have been messing my box up over the last few days and wanted to check on whether or not to use 'yum update'. Will this screw up the DA customapache or can it be used as a way of keeping modules up to date?
Does customapache put files in locations other than those expected by the default FC3 settings that yum might expect? I note from reading this thread that it is a combination of source complies and rpm installation and I suspect it is not compatible with yum.

Also on reading through the whole of this thread (which is at least a couple of cups of coffe long) that there are some real gems hidden in its depths such as the reason for using 'service' to restart apache. Can I suggest having a 'gems' thread or an 'infobase' in which such items are stored. I am so used to apachectl I failed to follow instructions, had the instructions said use service.... because then I would not have ended up digging myself out of a trench ... perhaps.

I have come from using 42go and am delighted with DA despite my own stupidity in messing up my machine :mad:

Yum update may corrupt certain parts of your system, unless the config file has been updated to exclude certain programs.

This exclude line works for us, on RHEL systems; add it to the bottom of the [main] section of /etc/yum.conf, or just replace the include line already there:

exclude=httpd* mysql* php* perl* apache* mod_* MySQL* *ftp* exim* sendmail* php* kernel* da_*

build semantics : how to specify multiple options?

I am having some difficulty understanding the semantics of the ./build command.

If we were compiling Apache manually, then we would enable or disable many individual options. But the './build' script accepts only ONE option at a time. How does it know which COMBINATION we want? For example, how would one rebuild Apache with all of the following enabled: Zend, mod_perl, mod_ssl?

Is it the case that even if we specify just one option (e.g. './build zend'), ALL OTHERS are automatically enabled?

Hello,

When the install happens, "./build all d" is used. This will install everything except zend. If you want zend, just run "./build zend" to set it up.

Mod_perl will already be enabled/running. If a new version comes out, you'd run:
./build update
./build mod_perl

You'd only need to run "./build apache_mod_ssl" if there is a new version of apache that you want to compile (run after ./build update).

If you are thinking on how to enable/disable apache modules for when you run ./build apache_mod_ssl, this might help:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=50
(configure.apache_ssl)


Although, most of the time, php is the one that people want to modify:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=23
(configure.php)

By running just "./build zend", it adds zend to the php config. It doesn't need to recompile anything.

After running customapache ./build clean and then ./build all apache fails without error.. and it doesnt say ok anymore when starting.
 
Nick,

Try downgrading to Apache 1.3.33, PHP to 4.3.11 AND ZEND to 5.7.

Had the exact same issue, Zend is the culprit.

HTH,
Matt
 
this problem is on freebsd 4.10

ok theres a huge problem with this i see... i've made like thoroughfare said (thanx mate), but now i've got another problem

mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in

well as far as i understood php 4.3.11 wasn't supposed to work with mysql 4.11, now any suggestions? how to fix the non working zend? i need latest php 4 to work...

PHP 4.3.11 can work with MySQL 4.1x just fine.
You just need to make sure PHP is compiled with mysql extension supporting MySQL 4.1x. Change "--with-mysql" to "--with-mysql=/PATH/TO/MySQL41".
Alternatively, you can force old-style authentication in MySQL 4.1x: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/password-hashing.html

Let us know how it goes.

ok now because i had downgraded from 2.0 to 1.3.33 i have one problem, the restart of the process
whenever i do that apache doesn't startup until i do '/usr/sbin/apachectl start' , any clues why /usr/sbin/httpd not working?
and now apache goes down every 1 hour

************
fixed
************
rm -rf /usr/local/Zend
/usr/local/directadmin/customapache/build zend
************
after procedures
************
cat /usr/local/lib/php.ini-zend_optimizer.bak >> /usr/local/lib/php.ini
************
and don't forget to edit php.ini afterwards to delete all old zend added text (new zend will be on top of .ini)
this may be redone buy installing several different zend optimizers

thanx to everybody...

now i got last question, how to reconfigure gd to use freetype?
