[Slashcode-general] Getting Bender working on RH 7.1

[Micah Y. <yo...@ho...>]

Hi,

Posted this on Slashcode yesterday, no replies.  Guess I should have posted 
here instead.

Anyway I had everything working great in RH 6.2 including the PHP4 module.  
Upgraded to 7.1 and went through the CPAN setup and now things are broken.

This might be a clue:

[root@eclipse apache]# perl
use Slash::Apache;
Can't load 
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/Slash/Apache/Apache.so' for 
module Slash::Apache: 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/Slash/Apache/Apache.so:

/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 200.
 at - line 1
Compilation failed in require at - line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at - line 1.

But...

[root@eclipse apache]# ls -l 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/Slash/Apache/Apache.so
-r-xr-xr-x    1 root     root        10144 Apr 18 16:45 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/Slash/Apache/Apache.so

the module is there, so I'm not entirely clear on why it can't be loaded.  
There's no more informative message that I can find.

And when I actually try to start Apache...

[root@eclipse apache]# ./bin/apachectl start
Syntax error on line 9 of /usr/local/slash/httpd/slash.conf:

I'm getting desperate.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

Wait a sec - you *upgraded* from 6.2? So you didn't fdisk everything
and install fresh?

Were you running apache/mod_perl/mysql from RPM or source?

Are you trying to run apache/mod_perl/mysql from RPM or source now?

I just wiped my server at home from 6.0 (running 2.4.2) to 7.1.
For the hell of it I'm trying to run with the RPM setup
first, just to see if it works.
BTW, incase anyone is reading this, things like zlib and expat
are already installed in RPM format with 7.1.
I'm installing perl libs now, then gonna go get some breakfest.
But if anyone is interested in my findings, let me know, I
can post them here or on slashcode.

I've got all my tarballs that I need downloaded, so I'll remove
all the rpm's & move to using source eventually after I'm done
tinkering with rpm's.

Nope.  This is just a home system and I didn't want to re-install all my 
software (Corel, Loki Games, etc).  I figure the upgrade is supposed to go 
well, and it did except for this.

> Were you running apache/mod_perl/mysql from RPM or source?

Compiled it from source.  Slash doesn't like the default config.

> Are you trying to run apache/mod_perl/mysql from RPM or source now?

Source again.  First tried it without recompiling, was hoping that would 
work.  It failed saying it couldn't find strict.pm in @INC (which included 
the Perl 5.005 tree).  Not sure why that happened.

Recompiled, using these notes I made for myself.  This is what I did under 
6.2, and it successfully made an httpd with PHP4 and a Slash-happy mod_perl 
working together.  So in case anyone is still having that problem, here's the 
solution:
-----------
In PHP directory:

  ./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql 
--with-apache=/home/micah/slashstuff/apache_1.3.19 --enable-track-vars
  make
  make install

  In mod_perl directory:

  perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=/home/micah/slashstuff/apache_1.3.19 DO_HTTPD=1 
USE_APACI=1 PERL_MARK_WHERE=1
  make
  make install

in Apache directory:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache 
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a 
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a 
--activate-module=src/modules/extra/mod_adbanners.o
make
make install

Good luck.  Let me know if it does!  I'd certainly prefer using RPM, but 
everything I've read indicates that Slash needs a custom mod_perl compile.

Please do post them!

I just downloaded Progeny Debian last night and intend to put it on my other 
computer.  Maybe I'll have better luck getting it to work with that.

Thanks,

What part of the default config does it not like? I'm not gonna try and say
the RPM is the best one ever made, but a bug report now and then about your
troubles can help make it better, like into something people would want to
use.

I believe the Slashcode docs themselves say that Slash doesn't like the 
default config.  I'm actually not even sure that my problem is a bug in Slash 
(it probably isn't).  Just something to do with the perl modules.

So if anyone could tell me why this happens and how to fix it, that would 
probably go a long way to getting it working:

I gave up, and went the all-source-built route. Seems to be working like a
champ now.

Ok, so far I have slash working on two redhat7.1 boxes.
What I did was

1) did a custome install, installed all the devel stuff, did
   NOT install web/ftp/sql servers.
2) immediately made sure the 'wget' and 'tree' commands were
   installed, if not installed them.
3) wgetted all tarballs that I'd need: apache, mod_perl, open_ssl,
    mod_ssl, php4, perl, cpan, openssh, mysql, etc.
4) removed perl from the system: perl --nodeps -e perl && rm -fR /usr/lib/perl5
5) installed perl from tarball.
6) installed cpan and started installing perl bundles/modules/scripts
7) installed mysql
8) installed apache/mod_perl etc.

I got apache compiling and working after I realized I forgot to
*remove* Redhat's RPM's of openssl, then installed open_ssl
and apache compiled OK.

This broke Redhat's rpm's of ssh (client, server, etc).
So I had to install openssh by hand:

rpm -e openssh-server && rpm -e openssh-clients && rpm -e openssh

then, to compile openssh I used the following:

./configure --with-pam --with-tcp-wrappers --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh

then updated bender from CVS, make install UNINST=1 INIT=/etc/rc.d
and now I'm setting up my first slashsite. All seems to ready to roll.

Cool.  I'm also in business, and I didn't even have to do most of what you 
did.  I just somehow left the EVERYTHING=1 out of my mod_perl config, as 
pudge pointed out.

Interesting.  Why exactly did you do that?  I'm using RH's perl-5.6.0 RPM and 
it seems to work.

> 6) installed cpan and started installing perl bundles/modules/scripts

Did you have any module install problems?  I had a couple/few, but I didn't 
keep a good log so I don't remember what they were.  I'm still not sure if 
all the modules are installed correctly, but the thing works so I guess it's 
close enough. :-)

You shouldn't have to do that.  I didn't compile in mod_ssl, but I'd think 
you could point the Apache config to the OpenSSL files installed by RPM, 
since it's not a module, just a library.

hmm. I'll have to try this later in the week. I've another machine
I can screw around with :)

I did it for two reasons - 1) because everyone is always preaching
that to build it from source is the best, most problem free way to
have it on a box and 2) because I'd never tried it before. I'd
always used perl rpm's.

Yes, there were a few:

AppConfig-1.52
libwww-perl.5.55391
Text-Autoformat-1.04

those were the only ones that I kept notes about, but I'm fairly
certain there were 2 or 3 others that I had to do by hand.
Which, when you think about all the modules that cpan does
correctly... I cannot complain. Thank you for Bundle::Slash!!

I agree, but this was the quickest way to get the machine going late last nite.
I'll wipe it and try doing it the w/o it's own perl and w/o messing
with the openssl rpms asap (or do it on another box), because now
I've got lib problems it seems:

$ nslookup lottadot.com
nslookup: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libdns.so.4: 
undefined symbol: CRYPTO_set_mem_functions
