[Gluster-devel] debian lenny + apache2 + mod_glusterfs 2.0.0rc4

[Ivan Dimitrov]

Hello list, this is my first time writing here

I've been trying to compile mod_glusterfs 2.0.0.rc4 for debian lenny 
with apache2.2 from debian package.
I've got the following debian packages installed:
apache2-mpm-prefork
apache2-prefork-dev
apache2-utils
apache2.2-common

./configure --enable-mod_glusterfs --with-apxs=/usr/bin/
...................................
checking for apxs... no
apxs is required to build mod_glusterfs. Use --with-apxs to specify path 
to apxs. If mod_glusterfs is not required, do not pass 
--enable-mod_glusterfs option to configure
...................................

Debian puts apxs in "/usr/bin/apxs2" and "--with-apxs=/usr/bin/" does 
not discover it. I had to make a symlink /usr/bin/apxs -> /usr/bin/apxs2 
in order to make configure recognize it.
For apache1.3 deb package puts the apxs in the same place 
/usr/bin/apxs.  I suggest to make this option a full path to the binary 
in order to support multiple apache installations residing in one 
directory (apache1, apache2, some-custom-apache)


./configure --enable-mod_glusterfs --with-apxs=/usr/bin/
.............................
checking for apxs... apxs
./configure: line 20804: /usr/sbin/httpd: No such file or directory
...............................
At this point the configure completed
mod_glusterfs      : yes ()

By default, Debian's httpd binary is in "/usr/sbin/apache2", so I make a 
symlink again and configure again. For apache1.3 the binary is called 
"/usr/sbin/apache"
checking for apxs... apxs

mod_glusterfs      : yes (2.2)


Unfortunately I'm not very experienced with configure to make a patch 
for it..
