texte = Here some instructions to install apache 2.0.63 and WebDNA 6.0 on a Fedora Core 9 release. Should be more or less the same on an Ubuntu or CentOS. Note apache is more picky than WebDNA itself: it will request its own libraries. Apache (must be compiled and will request its own libraries)) ====== * compilation files are inside /root/httpd-2.0.63 It is better to choose an incremental compilation, meaning if you want to add modules in the future, you will just have to work from this directory. * Execute and config with # ./configure --enable-rewrite --enable-so --enable-cgi --enable-ssl --enable-deflate --sysconfdir=/etc/apache2 --enable-so --enable-mime-magic * The ./configure checks that all packs and dependencies are available. We have had to add those two dependencies: # yum install gcc # yum install zlib-develhttpd-2.0.63 * Then we wrote the init file /etc/init.d/apachectl WebDNA ====== * we made a directory /etc/httpd and inside, a link to /etc/apache2 named conf. /etc/httpd/conf was linked to /etc/apache2 too, where apache configuration is. This is because we want WebDNA to find apache configuration files. * we installed two libraries that WebDNA will require # yum install compat-libstdc++-296 # yum install compat-libstdc++-33 * next move, we installed WebDNA rpm # yum localinstall WebCatalog-6.0-1.i386.rpm * /WebCatalog-Engine and /WebCatalog are not in the right place because of our compiled apache version, so we have to move them: # mv /var/www/cgi-bin/WebCatalogEngine /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/ # mv /var/www/html/WebCatalog /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ * small fix in /var/www/cgi-bin/WebCatalogEngine/webdna.conf the line LoadModule webcatalog2_module /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/ WebCatalogEngine/mod_webcatalog2.so.2 should show LoadModule webcatalog2_module /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/ WebCatalogEngine/mod_webcatalog2.so.2-42 * /etc/apache2/httpd.conf must include webdna.conf like this: Include /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/WebCatalogEngine/webdna.conf * Time to modify UID and GID in httpd.conf User apache Group apache * change UID:GID for the files to show apache:apache # cd /usr/local/apache2/; chown apache:apache * * Then restart WebDNA and apache # /etc/init.d/apachectl stop; # /etc/init.d/apachectl start; # /etc/init.d/WebCatalog stop; # /etc/init.d/WebCatalog start; done! chris On Nov 18, 2008, at 3:53, Donovan Brooke wrote: > Kenneth Grome wrote: > [snip] >> If you had to make any special configuration changes before you got >> it to work this info would be exceedingly useful and very much >> appreciated too of course. >> Thanks! >> Sincerely, >> Ken Grome > > RH > Fedora > and Centos seem to be the most common flavors people use. > > As time passes, the more tweaking that has to be done. > (last development for the latest builds is approaching > what.. over 4 years now?).. > so, you can't expect this to be a plug and play sort of > thing unless you are installing from scratch, RH8, for > example... and even at that point, linux just takes some > technical know how... or in leu of know-how.. some tenacity > perhaps.(which more fits my personal traits) ;-) > > *I don't think I have to mention that we are, and will > be working on more compatible installs... sorry, no > time frames right now* > > For those wanting to install linux 6.0a now, I'd use > one of those flavors and start with an older .iso install > (around 2K6 maybe).
