[SOLVED] How to compile Apache 2 on CentOS

Felipe · 03-17-2012, 06:48 AM

Hallo:

I use CentOS 5.5 32bits.

Can any tell me how to compile and install Apache2 from source? Is there any doc which details required packages to install?

I've tried but always find errors running make.

Thanks

Hi,

You can take a look here for a howto.
To compile software from sources in Centos, you need to install the Development Tools

Code:

yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

Apart from that, as you can see in the previous link, the only extra packages you might need is openssl-devel and zlib-devel, if you choose to add ssl and mod_deflate support in apache.

Now it works.

After adding

Quote:

./configure ... --with-included-apr

it has worked.
I already have the centos httpd package installed. Adding that parameter, it has compiled and installed fine.

Thanks for the help
