Hi All, I am progressing with apxs approach. But can anyone tell me why the exp approach is failing on Apache 2.0.43. The same approach is working on Apache 1.3.26. For apxs approach there will be lots of changes in makefiles which our customer may not agree. Is there anything that I am missing in my current approach.
Right now I am only importing symbols in httpd.exp. Do i need to import some other exp file also in addition to httpd.exp. Since the LoadModule directive is not loading the my library, my code has not yet executed. The problem is there with format of library only. Is there any was to detect whether my library is compatible with apache loading routines?? When i do apachectl start i get following error: Syntax error on line 147 of /usr/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /home/agent5x/lib/my_lib.so into server: FYI: The same library built on solaris, hpux gets loaded properly & works fine. In solaris & hp we don't need to import symbols using -bI:<httpd.exp> option. Why is the problem only on aix??? I am using xlC_r compiler on aix. Link line command to build the library are as below: /usr/vacpp/bin/makeC++SharedLib_r -G -p 0 -bnoipath ../../Rosette30/unix/lib/aix-xlC_r/libbtunicode.so -bM:SRE -berok -bnoentry -blibpath:/usr/lib/threads:/usr/ibmcxx/lib:/usr/lib:/lib -s -bI:../../thi rdparty/apache/httpd/2.0.43/aix43/server/httpd.exp -bE:mylib.exp ..................

I think you get to find out about your DSO picking up the wrong function of multiple with the same name by it behaving strangely :) As far as the usual missing symbol problem, where dlerror() (or whatever it is) doesn't provide info, try http://www.apache.org/~trawick/cantloaddso.pl
