@Ross, problem could be if you are on Snow Leopard or there is an issue with 64bit vs 32 bit compilation. Look at all the available documentation here, there are more ways to compile Apache.

Seems like the httpd.conf file in my etc/httpd/ folder is for the wrong version of apache (older?) because some commands are not supported and thats why it doesnt work. I dont understand how could that happen, i thought that folder was created by “sudo make install”…

Had to disable that and a bunch of other modules and now i get this:

Invalid command ‘ServerType’, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

I’m totally puzzled, since I tried to do step by step. I’m using apache 2.2.14 source

@Ross, what happens if you comment out the line including the module:

LoadModule log_config_module modules/mod_log_config.so

Otherwise try removing the /etc/httpd folder and run “sudo make install” again to get a fresh copy. Sometimes there are old modules included from earlier configurations.

Hello Richard, first of all thanks for the great instructions. i installed mysql and it all worked just great. However after I installed apache following the instructions, when i try to run it from terminal using “/usr/local/apache2/apachectl start;” i get this error:

httpd: Syntax error on line 207 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/libexec/httpd/mod_log_config.so into server: dlopen(/usr/libexec/httpd/mod_log_config.so, 10): image not found

I’ve looked at the “/usr/libexec” and it doesnt contain httpd folder. if i try and manually duplicate “usr/libexec/apache2″ folder as “libexec/httpd” which contains those .so files I get another error:

httpd: Syntax error on line 207 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf: Can’t locate API module structure `config_log_module’ in file /usr/libexec/httpd/mod_log_config.so: dlsym(0×100390, config_log_module): symbol not found

Thanks, Richard. There were some ‘invisible’ characters in front of each indented line that I’d added via copy/paste from this page. Apparently this was causing configure a problem. Now at least I can go to the next step!

@Tom, it should work. I’ve tried it again myself to make sure. Could you please check that you haven’t made a typo in any of the config.layout files.

I am running 10.5.8, XCode 3.1.2 (both freshly installed), untarred 2.2.13, edited the config.layout files as suggested, and am getting errors when running configure as shown above (see below). If I run configure without any command line arguments, there are no errors but of course it doesn’t do what I want it to, either. Had the same problem with 10.4.x and XC 2.4 so it appears I’m doing something wrong. I don’t see ‘config.pld’ anywhere so while that is obviously a problem, I don’t know how to fix it. Saw someone had the same problem on the compiling-apache-on-Tiger page but there was no resolution given there.

just wanted to add – i think the problem lies in copying the code from Safari and pasting into the Terminal – for some reason the “-” in “-enable” comes across as a different (appears shorter) hyphen. i copied the text into textedit, did a global find/replace and then it worked

Doug, please check your mail and use that medium for now. Once we’ve solved the problem I’ll post the outcome here.
