[SOLVED] Compiling mod_auth_mysql Apache module on ArchLinux

Hello,

I've never compiled/built/installed any Apache module before, and I just can't seem to get it working on ArchLinux.

I got the source code from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/modauth
Then I tried doing this...

Code:

apxs -c -L/usr/lib/mysql -I/usr/include/mysql -lmysqlclient -lm -lz mod_auth_mysql.c

And I get this...

Ideally, I would eventually like to modify the mod_auth_mysql.c source code so I can append a salt/padding to the end of the hashes (that mod_auth_mysql reads from the database), but I will be happy if I can just install the damn thing.

I've googled like crazy, and I cannot find a solution. If anybody can figure this out, much appreciated, I wish I installed another OS and I haven't been able to figure this out for weeks.

Hi and welcome to LQ,

You didn't say what is your apache version and the module version you're trying to install.
For apache-2.2.x and mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0 you'll need this patch to compile the module.

Regards

Yes it was the newest version.

That did it, thanks a ton dude. You wouldn't believe how many things I tried. I even tried a patch prior to that one, but it was the wrong one apprently.

Thanks again. Maybe I can help some other people here in the future...

Hi There,

I tried to patch the file by copying the patch (as patch.txt) and running patch -

Code:

$> patch -p0 < patch.txt

patching file mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0/mod_auth_mysql.c

Hunk #1 FAILED at 206.

Hunk #2 FAILED at 237.

Hunk #3 FAILED at 589.

3 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0/mod_auth_mysql.c.rej

Any chance you can tell me what I'm doing wrong? Sorry for the bother.

Edit: by the way, I am using ubuntu server 10, and apache 2. I tried to use apxs, but it wasn't found. apxs2 was if I installed apache2-threaded-dev, so I did and ran the command:

Code:

apxs2 -c -I /usr/include/mysql -l mysqlclient -l m -l z mod_auth_mysql.c

I guess that mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0/mod_auth_mysql.c is not the original (maybe it's already patched somehow). You can download the original mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0 from here and run the same patch command to patch it.
And yes, ubuntu names apxs as apxs2.

Regards

Well, that worked. I think I figured out the problem. I noticed that the patch file was looking in mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0/mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0.c so I moved the patch mack one directory and tried again. it worked. I feel incredibly dumb.
Thanks for the help.
