mod_ruby configuration error

Hi,

I went through the Perfect Server CentOS 5.2 tutorial but when I got to the mod_ruby installation step (12.2) I had this trouble:

Code:

[root@viktor mod_ruby-1.2.6]# ./configure.rb --with-apr-includes=/usr/include/apr-1
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether we are using gcc... yes
checking Ruby version... 1.8.5
checking for static Apache module support... no
checking for dynamic Apache module support... cannot open /httpd/build/config_vars.mk: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/apxs line 201.
cannot open /httpd/build/config_vars.mk: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/apxs line 201.
configure.rb: error: failed to exec /usr/sbin/apxs

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Did you install the httpd-devel package?

 

Yeah, Here is what I did:

Code:

[root@viktor ~]# yum install httpd-devel ruby ruby-devel

Nothing to do

 

Is mod_ruby needed by ISPConfig, or can I get by without installing it?

 

You can get by without installing it.

Does /usr/sbin/apxs exist?

 

yeah, apxs is what's having the problem. Apxs tries to look for some make rules files under /httpd/build/ instead of /usr/lib64/httpd/build/ or /usr/lib/httpd/build/. I made a symbolic link /httpd to /usr/lib64/httpd just to see what would happen but then the compile failed, Although the configure seemed to run fine.

 

Instead of creating the symlink, you can try to copy the files from /usr/lib64/httpd/build to /httpd/build.

 

Resolved

Hi,

To resolv the configure problem :

Change in vim /usr/sbin/apxs

#my $installbuilddir = $libdir . "/httpd/build";
my $installbuilddir = "/usr/lib64/httpd/build";

But after this, we have an another problem with make !

To fix it, we must install apr-devel-1.2.7-11.x86_64.rpm
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/8078792/com/apr-devel-1.2.7-11.x86_64.rpm.html

Enjoy with make install.
