I never was able to install Midgard on any of my systems. I tried it with
SuSE Linux 6.1 and 6.2 and with RedHat 6.1.
First of all, I think that Midgard is great. I checked out the demo site and
the available documentations and think it is something that I really need.
Now to the bad thing: I never could install it on my systems. Of course I am
perhaps a
super dummy. But let me explain my problems: I have a standard RedHat 6.1
server online with working Apache 1.3.11. The server is for tests only, so I
can fiddle around. The hard installationability (at least in my case) is no
good marketing. Not every interested person is such a die-hard installer as
I am (I tried it since september). Now to the technical problem: I
downloaded the HTML version of the offline-manual. According to the
installation chapter I installed Apache with the commands
./configure --with-perl=/usr/bin/perl --enable-module=all
--enable-shared=max
make
make install
The option
--with-layout=RedHat
didn't work. RedHat seems not to be RedHat (on my system RedHat installs
Apache to /usr/local/apache). This worked. After this I installed MySQL.
This worked too. Then I installed the Midgard library. Again without
problems. I slowly became optimistic. Then the Midgard databases. Worked. I
created the MySQL accounts. Worked, but only with the option -p. Now, when I
want to install mod_midgard with the following command:
./configure --with-apache=/usr/local/apache --with-midgard=/usr/local
and
make
I get following output:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -c -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib
-lmidgard m
od_midgard.c
gcc -DLINUX=2 -DUSE_HSREGEX -DUSE_EXPAT -I../lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED
-I/u
sr/local/apache/include -I/usr/local/include -c mod_midgard.c
-o mod_midgard.so mod_midgard.o -L/usr/local/lib -lmidgard
apxs:Break: Command failed with rc=16711680
make: *** [mod_midgard.so] Error 1
As assumed in the manual I edited the file /etc/ld.so.conf to guide it to
the libraries. I reran /sbin/ldconfig and retried it. The error message is
the same. In the manual FAQ section B.3.6 is this problem described. As
suggested, I checked the path of apxs with the command
which apxs
There was no apxs in the path. I copied apxs to /usr/local/bin. Same
problem. Since noone else seems to have such trouble I must be a
super-dummy. I hope I am, because then you can help me.
TIA
