[users@httpd] installing apache 2.4 on macosx Lion
Dear all,
As indicated in my title, I would like to proper install apache 2.4 on
macosx Lion.
In order to do that, I follow the documentation and use the following
command lines :
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-layout=Darwin --enable-modules=all
--enable-mods-shared
make
sudo make install
Compilation seems to went fine :
/usr/sbin/httpd -v :
Server version: Apache/2.4.1 (Unix)
Server built: Mar 28 2012 10:36:11
but now, I can't launch apache from the syst.pref. > shared > web sharing
panels.
More over, since the files under /etc/apache2/ seems not to have been
modified by the newly installation, I was wondering if they still remains
useful for configuring apache ?
Last question : is there any option to tell apache which PHP to use ?
Because I've made a new installation of PHP :
php -v :
PHP 5.4.0 (cli) (built: Mar 27 2012 16:03:34)
Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies
but it seems that apache 2.2.1 only found the previous release of PHP (here
a copy of /var/log/apache2/error_log just after activating apache):
[Tue Mar 27 17:46:45 2012] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[Tue Mar 27 17:50:47 2012] [warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured
[hint: SSLSessionCache]
httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain
name, using kototama.local for ServerName
mod_bonjour: Skipping user 'meurice' - cannot read index file
'/Users/meurice/Sites/index.html'.

authentication ...

OpenSSL/0.9.8r DAV/2 PHP/5.3.8 configured -- resuming normal operations
Many thanks by advance for any clues you could bring to me.

Dear Mark,
many thanks !!
Effectively, I was trying to keep one installation of Apache but it's very
confusing.
Following your recommandation, I'll get my custom builf of apache / PHP.
I've also check the system.log and apache error_log and finnaly managed to
solve one of the problem I had (activating apache from system prefs. pane.
Again, Thanks for your pieces of advices.
Best.

In my opinion, it is much easier to leave everything Apple provides
alone and install your custom build of Apache HTTP Server in a location
where all of the files (binaries, configuration files, log files) are in
completely different places than where Apple puts their copies. This
prevents any conflicts between your stuff and Apple's stuff, and
eliminates the need to do a lot of extra work to get your stuff to work
correctly with Apple's management tools. It can be difficult to get
your stuff to work with Apple's management tools because this is not
something that Apple has intended, and they do not provide support or
even good documentation for this. I recommend managing your custom
build of Apache HTTP Server from the command line, and not from Apple's
GUIs.
Use Console.app to check Apple's special log files to find out why you
were unable to start httpd. Also check the httpd error log files,
wherever you have configured httpd to put them. Alternatively, start
httpd from the command line using "apachectl" or by starting it
manually. Running "httpd -t" will do a check of your configuration
files and will report any problems.

Installing httpd will not normally destroy old configuration files; this
is desired behavior.
However, there are a number of differences between directives for httpd
2.2 and httpd 2.4, and you will very likely need to change some
directives in your httpd 2.2 configuration files in order to get your
configuration to work with httpd 2.4. For details, see
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html
To find out where your custom httpd is looking for its configuration
files, run "httpd -V" and examine the value of SERVER_CONFIG_FILE. If
the value does not begin with a / then prepend the value of HTTPD_ROOT
to it.
> Last question : is there any option to tell apache which PHP to use ?
Yes, you will need to build a different version of mod_php for each
version of PHP you want to use. You then control which version of PHP
gets used by specifying the path to the corresponding version of mod_php
via the LoadModule directive.
For example, to load the default version of PHP shipped by Apple:
LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
(this loads libphp5.so from /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so).
If you compile PHP 5.4.0, including mod_php, and you've installed this
version of mod_php in /opt/mystuff/apache-httpd/libexec/libphp5.so, then
you can load it using the following directive:
LoadModule php5_module /opt/mystuff/apache-httpd/libexec/libphp5.so
I hope this helps.
