The relevant TAs are <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22750" rel="nofollow">http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22750</a> and <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21099" rel="nofollow">http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21099</a> The latter has a good illustration of the issue. I guess reformatting as a case-sensitive HFS volume would do the trick, but much less convenient for Terminal work. Redirection is a possibility but only for short names as one would need to create a redirection for every case permutation - 1. Tedious. .htaccess files are out of favour at the moment: I am trying to clear up after a hacker injected some code somewhere that periodically creates .htaccess files in every conceivable folder containing a redirection to musikkorps.com... magill on "mod_hfs_apple in Apache 2" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/mod_hfs_apple-in-apache-2#post-845 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 17:33:22 +0000 magill 845@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Apache 2.2 does NOT provide that option (mod_hfs_apple), so one assumes it was clearly something created by apple. Reading the support note, the implication is that post 10.4 versions of OSX do not have the same problem as pre-10.4 versions, implying that the issue is on Apple's side of the fence. One assumes that this "feature" is only active if/when the disk itself is formatted as "extended, case-sensitive," not merely "extended" although the help item does not state what the "default format" for OSX-Server volumes happens to be. I believe that the general default in Disk Utility is "extended, journaled" but I do not know off hand. That is to say -- you do NOT get case sensitivity on a normal Apple Formatted disk.

Wouldn't you use HTTPS to make it more secure? Another approach could be to use a .htaccess file that redirects incorrect URL's with the wrong case to somewhere else. chrisbunch on "mod_hfs_apple in Apache 2" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/mod_hfs_apple-in-apache-2#post-833 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 15:52:10 +0000 chrisbunch 833@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ I upgraded to Apache 2 a while ago (so I could use Subversion). Recently I have set up some secure areas on one of my sites but have noticed that it can be circumvented by using a URL with the folder in question in a different case. For example, I can make <code><a href="http://mydomain.com/ABC/" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com/ABC/</a></code> secure but <code><a href="http://mydomain.com/aBC/" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com/aBC/</a></code> will circumvent the authentication! This didn't happen with Apache 1.3, I believe because it included mod_hfs_apple which 'compensates' for HFS+'s case insensitivity (<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.4/en/c3ws31.html)" rel="nofollow">http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.4/en/c3ws31.html)</a>. mod_hfs_apple is not included in my instance of Apache 2 (2.2.4) . Does anyone know if Apple ever upgraded it for Apache 2, and if so, from where I can get it?

Please let me know, and I will move it. I have a very irritating problem. I created my account username om my Mac ( OSX 10.6.2 ) long before I created my website. If we take it that my user account name happens to be 'myname' and my website happens to be <a href="http://www.myname.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.myname.com</a>. I hadn't noticed it was a problem until the other day. I changed the site base ref to work from <a href="http://myname.com" rel="nofollow">http://myname.com</a> away from <a href="http://www.myname.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.myname.com</a> The problem is on my Mac, the address <a href="http://myname.com" rel="nofollow">http://myname.com</a> is referring to the local web server, ie pre installed Apache and library/webserver/documents not the actual web address. If Web server is switched off via the sharing control panels - the address returns a google not found page? which seems very odd. It will also do this from any user account - identical results, so I know the Mac has reserved the name in some way. I dont want to rename my user account. I cant see my own website on my Mac which is very frustrating, as my website root is forcing all traffic to <a href="http://myname.com" rel="nofollow">http://myname.com</a> ( which is what I want of course ) and not <a href="http://www.myname.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.myname.com</a>. I have to use Parallels with a version of Windows to see the site properly. Naturally I continue to search all the archives I can but to no avail - maybe Im looking in the wrong areas. If anyone has any idea I'd be very grateful.

It's not even the default installed version on Snow Leopard (2.2.11). The instructions are meant as a complete set and I'm assuming everyone is using the latest version. Checking all components with all possible older versions is not something I'm even considering ;-) Consider this a closed ticket.... zerustech on "Compile Apache+MySQL+php on Snow Leopard" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/compile-apachemysqlphp-on-snow-leopard#post-718 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:02:46 +0000 zerustech 718@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Hi Richard, I think the problem is: looks like it's only possible to compile php with apache 2.2.13 on snow leopard. I tried to compile php with apache 2.2.4 and 2.0.55, but the "apxs" didn't work. So can you please update your instruction and close this ticket?

I tried different solutions and finally succeeded. So I'm just posting the instructions here and hopefully it will be helpful to you. 1. First of all, you should download apache 2.2.13 (the apxs in its previous releases does not work) 2. Install xcode from Snow Leopard installation DVD (I guess you have already installed) 3. Install MacPorts and the following port libs: - zlib - curl - xsl - gd - openjpeg - libpng - freetype - xpm - exif - libiconv 4. Compile MySQL (5.1.39) as follows: #!/bin/sh MYSQLVERSION="5.1.39" MYSQLDIR="/opt/mysql/$MYSQLVERSION" make distclean ./configure \ --prefix=$MYSQLDIR \ --with-server-suffix=--standard \ --enable-thread-safe-client \ --enable-local-infile \ --enable-shared \ --with-zlib-dir=bundled \ --with-big-tables \ --with-readline \ --with-plugins=all \ --with-mysqld-user=mysql \ --with-extra-charsets=all \ --with-unix-socket-path=$MYSQLDIR/var/mysql.sock \ --without-docs make make install 5. Compile Apache (2.2.13) as follows: #!/bin/sh APACHEVERSION="2.2.13" APACHEDIR="/opt/apache/$APACHEVERSION" make distclean ./configure -prefix=$APACHEDIR \ -enable-mods-shared=all \ -with-ssl \ -with-mpm=prefork \ -disable-unique-id \ -enable-ssl \ -enable-dav \ -enable-cache \ -enable-proxy \ -enable-logio \ -enable-deflate \ -with-included-apr \ -enable-cgi \ -enable-cgid \ -enable-suexec 6. Compile PHP (4.4.9 or 5.3.0) as follows: #!/bin/sh PHPVERSION=4.4.9 MYSQLVERSION=5.1.39 APACHEVERSION=2.2.13 BUILDTAG=$PHPVERSION.mysql.$MYSQLVERSION PHPDIR=/opt/php/$BUILDTAG MYSQLDIR=/opt/mysql/$MYSQLVERSION make distclean ./configure \ --prefix=$PHPDIR \ --with-apxs2=/opt/apache/$APACHEVERSION/bin/apxs \ --with-config-file-path=$PHPDIR/etc \ --with-mysql=$MYSQLDIR \ --with-mysqli=$MYSQLDIR/bin/mysql_config \ --with-pdo-mysql=$MYSQLDIR \ --with-zlib=/opt/local \ --with-curl=/opt/local \ --with-mcrypt=/opt/local \ --with-xsl=/opt/local \ --with-gd=/opt/local \ --with-jpeg-dir=/opt/local \ --with-png-dir=/opt/local \ --with-zlib-dir=/opt/local \ --with-xpm-dir=/opt/local \ --with-freetype-dir=/opt/local \ --with-iconv=/opt/local \ --enable-mbstring \ --enable-exif \ --enable-cli \ --enable-pcntl \ --enable-sockets \ --enable-ftp \ --enable-soap export EXTRA_CFLAGS="-lresolv" make make install Richard on "config.layout for srclib/apr ?" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/configlayout-for-srclibapr#post-681 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 06:15:22 +0000 Richard 681@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ No this is not normal, the configure fase should pick-up from the centrally defined config.layout.

I`ve installed and compiled Apache, php and MySQL following your instructions. All is working fine. But I can´t start Apache2 on boot.

The httpd.conf therefore is out of date. The simplest method is to comment out the line which includes this module but thee might be more. The copy you performed copied the wrong httpd.conf as it is not configured to your settings. Remove your httpd.conf by renaming it and run a "sudo make install" to create a correct httpd.conf. bob on "error Apache start `config_log_module'" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/error-apache-start-config_log_module#post-594 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 16:21:19 +0000 bob 594@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Hi, httpd-2.2.10 Mac OS X 10.4.11 1)make && sudo make install (no errors) 2)sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start httpd: Syntax error on line 207 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/libexec/httpd/mod_log_config.so into server: Symbol not found: _ap_month_snames\n Referenced from: /usr/libexec/httpd/mod_log_config.so\n Expected in: flat namespace\n 3)sudo cp /docs/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/ (from httpd-2.2.10) 4)sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start httpd: Syntax error on line 29 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf: ServerRoot must be a valid directory I´ve read similar comments on: Compiling Apache on Tiger: <a href="http://diymacserver.com/installing-apache/compiling-apache/" rel="nofollow">http://diymacserver.com/installing-apache/compiling-apache/</a> I need some help.

I don't use phpbb so I'm not that experienced with their options. papa lozarou on "Optimising a server" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/optimising-a-server#post-560 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:18:08 +0000 papa lozarou 560@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Hi I'm running a mac mini, which Richard kindly helped me get a mail server on. The only think other than that I run is a web forum for football supporters. I'm having real problems with the mysql/apache load. Basically the server slows to a crawl on lunchtimes. I've got about 1.5k users, which can balloon up to 2.5k if something big hits the news. Average hits per day is somewhere between 50k and 90k (again if there's some big story). Does anyone have any ideas? When I look at top I'm seeing MySQL sometimes at 150% plus of CPU processes, and the CPU itself maxed out between User and System with no idle. Also the average CPU load seems to be 2.5 plus. All these things aren't supposed to be I'm pretty sure, but I am unsure if it's a software issue or a hardware one. The forum software I run is phpbb3. Any ideas?
