Upgrade to Apache 2

[bithosts]

Hey all, (Debian 3.1/DA 1.29.6) (EDIT: if you cant tell, im not particularly well seasoned in the whole linux world, although the last 6 months has been a steep learning curve)

Im wondering if someone can help me - I have recently installed DA and have been looking around the forum quite abit, ive found several previous posts about this but the ones with any detail get quite confusing.

http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13173&highlight=apache2+upgrade

and there have been others - thankfully i took a backup before i did all this....

Everything seems to have processed correctly and I get to the stage where I want to restart Apache so I run:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

and it returns:

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 68 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/mod_perl.so into server: /usr/lib/apache/mod_perl.so: undefined symbol: PerlIOBase_binmode

....now if i ignore it - DA still seems to work and if i comment our the line :
LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_perl.so
and restart the server it seems to work fine and DA recognises that its Apache2 it even recognises that apache is alive in the service monitor.

Thanks to all that reply! (Sorry if this is in the wrong area btw)

I guess this is an "ask DA for support" moment then.

Cheers anyway

Hello,

Try removing mod_perl (you likely dont use it anyway, it's won't affect cgi-bin files).

Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf with nano, or your favorite editor.
Change:

LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_perl.so

to

#LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_perl.so

save, exit then restart apache.

John, does this solve the problem:

Specifically:

The solution to this problem is very simple, the customapache build needs libperl development files on Debian to build a proper mod_perl.

apt-get install libperl-dev

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache

./build all

That should do the trick

Just in progress at the moment - one concern though, i saw highlighted Apache 1.3.37. After id attempted to - and successfully installed Apache2

Ill let you know how it goes.

Couldnt compile all the stuff to do with php4

ive reverted to a backup i took not long before hand. So im back on apache1.3.37
