Hi
I installed Fedora Core 5 for the first time this week - everything went
well until I tried to add mod_rewrite to Apache...
This is what I did...
Removed rpms httpd apache etc
Downloaded apache 2.2.2 source
Configured with mod_so
etc
So Apache is working fine which makes me wonder if it's something to do
with Fedora...
Now when I try to add mod_rewrite with
apxs -i -a mod_rewrite.c /usr/local/apache/build/instdso.sh
this is the output
SH_LIBTOOL='/usr/local/apache/build/libtool' mod_rewrite.c
/usr/local/apache/modules
/usr/local/apache/build/libtool --mode=install cp mod_rewrite.c
/usr/local/apache/modules/
cp mod_rewrite.c /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_rewrite.c
Warning! dlname not found in /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_rewrite.c.
Assuming installing a .so rather than a libtool archive.
chmod 755 /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_rewrite.so
chmod: cannot access `/usr/local/apache/modules/mod_rewrite.so': No such
file or directory
apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536
Now the warning about dlname is apparently normal so I have tried other
suggestions I found on the net
yum install httpd-devel
yum install libtool
I also the permissions on apache/modules to 777 because I thought it was
a permissions problem but it's had no effect.
It is Apache 2 even though it /usr/local/apache
Any help would be appreciated
I'd be inclined to try rebuilding the 2.2.2 httpd SRPM from rawhide
rather than just installing from source. That way you'd get it built
using the same compiler options as the standard httpd package (e.g.
FORTIFY_SOURCE), which might help.
