Updated HTTPD, missing shared objects

I'm moving a web server from RHEL 5 to RHEL 6 and have copied the httpd.conf file over, but when trying to start apache I get an error

Code:

Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 196 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_file_cache.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_file_cache.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

                                                          [FAILED]

So I edited out that line and the next two that look for

Code:

modules/mod_file_cache.so

modules/mod_mem_cache.so

And it throws another error looking for

Code:

modules/mod_authz_ldap.so

I don't know enought about apache to know whether or not these are all essential so I'd rather not go around commenting out to fix it. I've tried looking for the modules elsewhere but they aren't on the machine and yum install doesn't work either.

Most of these modules need to be compiled with Apache and those modules are probably installed by design, authz_ldap allows ldap authentication integration into Apache and the cache modules can dramatically increase page load times.

Now most of these can be done with yum but you are probably not using yum correctly.

Do the following and see what packages come back:

Code:

yum provides "*modules/mod_authz_ldap.so"

yum provides "*modules/mod_file_cache.so"

yum provides "*modules/mod_mem_cache.so"

This should come back with the actual package names.

Also, how did you install Apache on the new system? I believe some of these modules should come with the out of the box install of httpd from the red hat repo.

Example yum output:

Code:

# yum provides "*modules/mod_file_cache.so"

It was kickstarted with a standard kickstart we use for most of our machines.

edit: I'm missing libphp5.so now too.

I think your system is not registered with RHN.

You can NOT progress beyond here UNTIL this machine IS registered
contact red hat sales and add this machine on to your existing license
( if you have one)

Did you read what the OP posted???

So if the system is receiving updates...it's obviously registered.

OP, see the last comment in this bug report on the RHEL site, here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=899417

Please confirm this with RHEL support first, though. That MAY be a different issue, but it would seem to match your symptoms.

Since you're migrating, you can just install the mod_disk_cache module, and comment out the other two, now that you have the LDAP module installed. Installing the PHP module should be fairly straightfoward, since you're registered, and you can just use yum to install it, as you did the LDAP module.

Ok so now all I'm missing is the php module and I can't yum install it. From what I've read it's generated when apache is built from source so it should have been installed during the OS install, correct?
