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: http://diymacserver.com/installing-apache/compiling-apache/

I need some help.

Thank you

Hi Bob,

The problem is that the module that generates the error is no longer used in this version of apache. The httpd.conf therefore is out of date.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.

Hi,

"apachectl start" now works properly
Thank you.
I`ve installed and compiled Apache, php and MySQL following your instructions.
All is working fine.

But I can´t start Apache2 on boot. I can enter “sudo /Library/StartupItems/Apache2/Apache2 start” in terminal after startup with no problem, and the web server starts.

Any clue?

It could be that you are starting two separate apache's

To start the DIYMacserver apache you need to use /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

If you use apachectl start, because of the PATH settings you are starting the default apple installed apache.

Please check which one is referred in /Library/StartupItems/Apache2/Apache2
