[...] went ahead and compiled Apache from scratch. It’s easy enough and you’ll need the 64bit support for PHP. MySQL was much easier [...]

I have compiling errors as below:

ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [httpd] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

That I could solve changing option:

-enable-mods-shared=all

-enable-mods-shared=most

Maybe it’s an useful hint to somebody.

For all us old-timers with PowerPC Macs (G3, G4 & G5) Richard suggests using:

CFLAGS=”-arch ppc64″ \

instead of

CFLAGS=”-arch x86_64″ \

Hi Richard,

When I compared the 3 files in the original source directory they contain different fields. Shouldn’t the 3 files also be different ?
This is maybe the source of problem as i copied the first changed config.layout to the other locations also. I also verified the creation time of those files and 2 are matching and the third is different

Yes, but also the sysconfigdir and the logfile location are different.

Hi Richard,

As proposed I started back from scratch. So far everything OK. I just was wondering before compiling in 64bit of the DIYMACSERVER layout.
Is it correct that this has prefix usr/local/apache2 and the other /usr ? Just for confirmation as you mentionned that the DIY version is the one that doesn’t overwrite the original version.

Hi David, thanks for the update. I found the same answer with Luc offsite. I asked for a proper solution on the apache user mailinglist, but no answer. There is even an old bug which is still open which addresses this issue: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23167

Hey Luc,

Yes, that fixed it. When I added the DIYMacServer layout info to the 2 additional config.layout files, the configuration worked.

Cheers,
David

Hey Luc,

I ran into the same error. It appears that there are three config.layout files (1 in srclib/apr, and 1 in srclib/apr-utl) and I bet they all need to be appended with the DIYMacServer layout information. I’ll try it tonight. Hope this helps.

Hi Richard,

Probably something stupid. But I amended the config_layout file with DIYMacServer but I got following errors.
