[users@httpd] Apache Errors
After successfully compiling the Apache software, I get the following on startup. Here's my error:
# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
Syntax error on line 207 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_vhost_alias.so into server: ld.so.1: /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_vhost_alias.so: symbol ap_os_is_path_absolute: referenced symbol not found
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
Here's the configure line:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=all --enable-shared=max --enable-rule=EAPI --with-layout=Apache
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Looks interesting (more below). Not something I've run into, so can't
judge the relevance.

When you hear the thundering herd, and you see the hoof prints, you
should eliminate the possibility of "horse" before thinking "zebra."
That said, "For some reason, even though LD_LIBRARY_PATH was being set
properly, it wasn't being read fully" might point toward zebra.

Since you have verified the existence of the file and that it lives
where indicated, I will abandon this point. I have nothing more to
offer.
If you do not find the cure, you might repost with a more descriptive
subject line. The better subject will be more likely to attract the
interest of the clueful ;)
Good luck

OK, here goes nothing:
Is this one relevant?
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/14640/fid/559
Here's another one:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/mail/php-install/2001092/0081.php
Did I mention that I was also attempting to install PHP 4? Appears that
this is something that is happening on Solaris Servers, I'm running
version 7.

Since I am trying to compile the PHP Module I will verify that I am not
actually shooting myself in the by loading the module in the httpd.conf
prematurely, however this is not the error message in the start command.
I realize that it is easier to seek out the KISS (Keep It Simple
Stupid), and I'm not trying to seek out Pink Elephants, but this server
is new to me, and has not been maintained since it's installation 5
years ago. Do you see Pink Elephants?

The next line probably has the same path, no? Do the named files exist
at the location? In other words, does
/usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_vhost_alias.so
actually exist?

I suppose that is possible. I would, however, first be sure that your
LoadModule statement points to the *actual* location of the mod_*.so,
and that the given *.so exists. Again, since your install is not FHS
compliant, I have not a clue where to look. A compliant location for a
locally compiled app's shared objects would be under
/usr/local/lib/apache||http/1.3||2.0/
I doubt that all modules are buggy. That's why I'm staying with the
possibility of something like path error until proven otherwise. :)

Thanks for the attempt Gary, but this does not appear to be a
configuration issue.
I tried to comment the lines out for you, but the line number just
points to the Next AddModule Statement in the Configuration file. I
also tried to modify the Statements to me Fully Qualified Pathnames,
instead of Relative Directory pathnames.
I found a reference on the Web which indicated that something similar
was a bug in the code. I'm referring to
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_vhost_alias.so into server:
ld.so.1: /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd: fatal: relocation error: file
/usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_vhost_alias.so: symbol
ap_os_is_path_absolute: referenced symbol not found
I still appreciate the effort. Thanks, but I feel that there is
something else a muck here.

This refers to a syntax error in the run time configuration file, not
the compile time conf.

It appears that the cited path is not where the file actually resides.

Load up your favorite editor with httpd.conf and take a look at line
207. You could comment the line to see if that makes it work, or you
could correct the path. It seems that your installation does not comply
with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standards, so I won't even guess where
that might be.
