Apache 1.3.20, garbled apple_hfs_module

[jiblet]

I just followed the instructions on Devshed about installing Apache w/ PHP & MySQL on Mac OS X. I'm running 10.0.4 (I think the article was written for 10.0.3), and the Apache, PHP, and MySQL packages are all higher version than they were at the time of the article writing.

I thought everything went off without a hitch, but upon trying to start up the httpd daemon, I get the following error:

API module structure `apple_hfs_module' in file /usr/libexec/httpd/mod_hfs_apple.so is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO?

I tried disabling this module, which I assume is to allow Apache to read Macintosh disks. Unfortunately, although I installed on separate partitions, I formatted my Mac OS X partition as HFS+ rather than UFS.

Can I recompile this module somehow, or what advice would anyone have to go about fixing this?

[jimr]

I believe that Scott Anguish has posted the correct instructions for making this transition to 1.3.20 on 10.04.

The problem is certainly that you have to recompile the hfs_mod.so; however you need the source!!!

it is available at stepwise.

http://www.stepwise.com/

they have a search.
here, I searched for you....

http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Wor...-03-24.01.html
the name of the html and the actual title of the article is a little misleading....
but this is the real thiing....


the hfs_mod is only for correcting a possible security issue with case recognition on HFS+.

HFS+ sees, for example, APACHE as equal to apache or even ApAchE. So if you have a folder which is protected by .htaccess, an intruder may easily discover that they may enter the folder without a password by changing the letter case. the hfs_mod.so is supposed to fix that issue only in this instance.

throughout the rest of your environment, ABC will equal abc or Abc.

the Apache server can "read" HFS+ just fine, whether you install that module or not.

There are several othe rinstances where HFS's ability to remember Case but not distinguish it is problematic.

head a binary file for seeing the head(top several lines) will be replaced by a perl script "HEAD" which reads/processes html headers.

Makefile may be confused or overwritten with makefile
...

etc.
<hr>
You could change to UFS but UFS formatted disks may not be viewed by MacOS9.2 and some applications will just refuse to operate in that environment ...for now.

no no


after updating from 1.3.19 to 1.3.20 (of the apache) you just have to recompile the module_hfs_ new! :-)

then it works again! :-)......

[Darkshadow]

Speaking on apache 1.3.20 - did anyone have to do anything special to compile it? I always get a sanity check error when running the configure script - tells me my c preprocesor can't handle something or other (okay, not exactly what it says, but it's been about a week since I last tried it). Tells me I should use a GCC-compatible one. I've installed lots of stuff, but I know I haven't uninstalled anything.

If I remember correctly, it was barfing over opening libdl (I guess ... -ldl in the compiler messages). This is what is used to make the .so modules. I'm pretty sure I still have it around in some form or other, since 1.3.19 has the loadable modules and still works.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

[jimr]

you should have the latest version of the dev tools installed.

apples cc compiler is gcc compatible with a couple of tricks up it's sleeve.

libdl as shipped is compiled into the main system library and there should be a symbolic link placed in the /usr/lib directory to leflect this. without any intervention on your part.

there is a separate "improved" libdl compatiblity library at Fink.sourceforge.org

however read any of the numerous postings on this topic ant follow the Stepwise link above.

Nothing special to be done really....until you start trying to do some fancy stuff, discussion of which will be omitted in favor of not giving anyone any bright ideas about how to screw up their system.



./configure \
--enable-module=most \
--enable-shared=max

dirt simple....

[tazmandevil]

no no, you don't have to recompile the whole Apache, you just have to compile the apple_hfs_module new!!!! probably it's still halv compiled, and you just have to "> make" in the specific directory! :-)

but, i have apache 1.3.19, and have the same problem, when i want to compile 1.3.20 as you wrote…....

i'm also interested in a functioning supervision, how to update apache 1.3.19 to 1.3.20 on OS X! (remark: after the Apple-Automatical-Software-Update is done)

and the problem is, i have updated to the new DEV-Tools!!!! i thougt, that it didn't worked because of them and after that, i removed them and installed again the older DEV-Tools from the 10.0.1 Distribution... but it does not work on both DEV-Tools...

he means, there should be more librarys, while a sanity-check-error....

[jimr]

Let's have a look a selected pieces of your compiler output.

some bits of the configure output would also be helpful.

I have compiled so many things with few problems that I didn't cause by trying to be "clever".

apache, php, mysql, postgres, perl 5.6.1, Tomcat, cocoon, mod_jk all work seamlessly.

ssh, and tcpwrappers been working since public beta.

Fink is installed and has helped out with Xfree86-rootless and a bunch of X-windows stuff.


there are a couple of tricks I have pulled but mostly just to get a few small things working. this system is fantastic so many packages intall easily.

OK so here is my actual
configuration

./configure \
--enable-module=most" \
--enable-shared=max" \
--enable-module=so" \
--with-layout=Darwin" \
--prefix=/usr" \


from config.status in the apache_source directory

that layout darwin and prefix=/usr will lay it right over the existing install for the brave-hearted.

I find several alias files called libdyn****
