[users@httpd] Unable to compile mod_rewrite
Hi, first-time poster (go easy on me)
I've downloaded httpd 2.0.59 and untar'd it.
I've used ./configure like so:
root@foobar:/home/mikec/httpd-2.0.59# ./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/applications/2059
--enable-so
--enable-rewrite
(all on one line)
and my config.nice file contains:
root@foobar:/home/mikec/httpd-2.0.59# cat config.nice
#! /bin/sh
#
# Created by configure
"./configure" \
"--prefix=/usr/local/applications/2059" \
"--enable-so" \
"--enable-rewrite" \
"$@"
(so, that looks ok, right?)
then I do
make
then I do
make install
But:
root@foobar:/usr/local/applications/2059/modules# ll
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 6 21:41 ./
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Sep 6 21:41 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8504 Sep 6 21:36
httpd.exp
root@thunderbird:/usr/local/applications/2059/modules#
Here's this output, in case someone's curious:
root@foobar:/usr/local/applications/2059/bin# httpd -l
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_so.c
suexec: disabled; invalid wrapper /usr/sbin/suexec
Where did I do wrong, or where do I start looking for why mod_rewrite
didn't compile?
Um... I'm sure you'll want to know things like linux kernel and stuff
about gcc and well... I admit the last time I compiled apache was
watching over someone else's shoulder 3 years ago. So... If you need
more info, please be specific about how I obtain it for you.
And thanks.

Thanks very much for your help Joshua, this seems to have worked fine.
FTR, my version is 2.0.49, so I downloaded that version and did the
configure, make, make install with mod-rewrite=shared. I then had a
mod_rewrite.so file that I just copied over to the existing server
deployment and a restart seems to have loaded it fine. Now, I just
have to get my regex right.
This now seems easy! I think I'll compile a bunch of servers, just for
fun, on the weekend! :)
(no, not really)

This will only work if the architecture is exactly the same and the
two apache's have compatible binary interfaces (in general, that means
the first two parts of the version number must be the same).
If all that is true, it will probably work. But you could also just
use apxs as described in the fourth example here:

Ah, that's the n00b in me coming through. I didn't connect "DSO" with
*.so
One last question then (the reason I'm even compiling apache in the
first place):
I have an existing production server that does not have mod_rewrite
either as an .so or within the list of "httpd -l" . Is it a very stupid
idea to download the particular version of Apache I'm currently running,
compile mod_rewrite as a shared module, put it in my existing modules
directory, and start using it? That is... I would compile my apache to
/usr/local/notapache2 and I'd just move
/usr/local/notapache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so to
/usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so
I realize I should probably just take the opportunity to upgrade, but
I'm just wary of making changes.

See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/install.html#configure
which tells you to tack on =shared to the end of --enable-rewrite.

Ah. Right you were.
root@foobar:/usr/local/applications/apache2059/bin# ./httpd -l
Compiled in modules:
core.c
mod_access.c
mod_auth.c
mod_include.c
mod_log_config.c
mod_env.c
mod_setenvif.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_mime.c
mod_status.c
mod_autoindex.c
mod_asis.c
mod_cgi.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_dir.c
mod_imap.c
mod_actions.c
mod_userdir.c
mod_alias.c
mod_rewrite.c
mod_so.c
Leaving aside arguments regarding desirability, how do I make it so that
mod_rewrite becomes an .so file in the modules directory? Or is it even
possible?

The this last one with "./httpd -l"
I bet you are hitting another installed version of apache httpd,
rather than the freshly-compiled one.
