I am try to upgrade my apache install to a lamp compatible (linux, apache, mySql, PHP). When I installed RH 9 I selected the Apache (not sure of the version) but the new version I am trying to use is 2.0.47.

apachectl -v
Server version: Apache/2.0.47
Server built: Jul 15 2003 19:33:30

When I run

apachectl start

I get the following error:

httpd: module "mod_auth_mysql.c" is not compatible with this version of Apache (found 20020628, need 20020903).
Please contact the vendor for the correct version.

Reading news groups I got the impression that my mod_auth_mysql.so needed to be upgraded. I downloaded a new version from http://www.aucs.org/rpmcenter/detai...0.i386.rpm.html

The detil page on the site list httpd-mmn = 20020903, the version the error message requires. The RPM install gave me the follow error:

error: Failed dependencies:
httpd >= 2.0.43 is needed by mod_auth_mysql-1.11-11.8.0
httpd-mmn = 20020903 is needed by mod_auth_mysql-1.11-11.8.0

I checked the define mmn in httpd.spec and it is 20020903, so I thibk I built with the correct version.

uggghhhhh

Any ideas ?????

*slap* *slap* *slap*

get the tar ball

then try again

RPM's are the easy way out and you can end up having to install loadsa crap before it works, just compile it yourself a whole lot easier.

Also, let me ask if you plan on a) using MySQL in your Web sites (ie, if you plan on connecting to a MySQL database through Perl or PHP); or b) using MySQL as a place to store your actual *Apache* auth information (ie, Apache itself will connect directly to MySQL, not via PHP or Perl)? If it's B, then follow the instructions from sidey, because RPMs shouldn't be used for apps or libraries that at as configurable as Apache, MySQL or PHP. The RPM menu for PHP will only give you access to about 20% of the possible configuration options.

If you are using it for the purposes specified by A, though, you don't even need the mod_auth_mysql module. PHP has connectivity for MySQL included if you include the --with-mysql config flag, and Perl can access it using the DBD::mysql Perl module. I have mod_auth_mysql disabled on nearly every Linux server I'm responsible for, with absolutely no issues.

I plan on using the setup to access NetJuKe and serve web pages so i can disable the MySQL auth. Thanks !!!! I will try tonight at home.

I will also try compiling the tar ball again. After the RPM failed I dl the source but it failed to compile, it looks like one of my include files was out of date. Dont have access to the compile errors now.
