Re: v1.5 on XP fails to load mod_axis2.dll
Thanks to Stephane for emailing me to confirm that he has had the same troubles. He also found the main problem: The install instructions (http://ws.apache.org/axis/cpp/wininstall-guide.html) are missing a crucial instruction. Thanks for the kindness of strangers! To complete the install: = Add another environnment variable: AXIS_HOME=[Axis_Folder] Note that this is the same value as for AXISCPP_DEPLOY. After this change, I restarted the Apache Service Monitor, and apache started right up, and I was able to run the calculator client application. NOTE TO THE ADMINISTRATORS: Please either update the install documentation or explain to me (via private email please) how you want to work with me to have me do it. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

We need to revisit the docs for sure. That will save time on the part of both users as well as developers. Peter wrote: John Hawkins wrote: ...

Hi all, To know how to use SVN please reffer Windows Developer's Guide or Axis C++ ANT Build Guide. http://ws.apache.org/axis/cpp/windev-guide.html#svncheckout http://ws.apache.org/axis/cpp/antbuild-guide.html#svnExtract Thanks Chinthana -Original Message- From: Samisa Abeysinghe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 10:17 PM To: Apache AXIS C User List Subject: Re: [Fwd: Re: v1.5 on XP fails to load mod_axis2.dll] Peter wrote: Samisa Abeysinghe wrote: I would also suggest tat you also try the latest code from SVN, building it on your own. I figured out that you meant the repository. I used CVS to get the lastest versions, and built axis C++. I then followed the build and install instructions for Windows. I checked my DLL using the dependencies viewer, and all seem to resolve correctly. I used Xerces 2.6 instead of 2.2. I tried the code from CVS over the weekend and noticed that it is not in sync with SVN (We migrated to Subversion aka SVN recently) Hence you got to get the source from SVN not CVS. I think there was some effort to document how to do this, can someone lead us to the doc please? I noticed an error in the Axis C++ Windows Developers Guide: under the section Deploying Axis in Apache step (3), it says to set the PATH to include the directory [Apache_Folder], which has no *.exe or *.dll files. I wonder if this is intended to refer to another directory? Your path variable should contain the folder that has the Axis C++ DLLs. Also you should have the Xerces DLL on the path. Anyway, upon running Apache, I still get the same errors. There are no error reports. Any further advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Peter __ Yahoo!

Re: v1.5 on XP fails to load mod_axis2.dll
I repeated the install on a Win2000 machine and got exactly the same (failed) results. Please note too that (on both configurations) when I try to start the apache server from the "Apache Service Monitor" an error dialog pops up that reports: "The requested operation has failed!" Also, I am sure that the .../axis/lib directory is in the path. I tested this by moving a program there, giving ita unique name, and then trying to run that from somewhere else -- which works. I am also certain that this directory contains the xerces-c_2_2_0.dll file. I believe that either the install instructions are incorrect, or I have two unsupported (yet typical) machine configurations. I do have various flavors of MS C++ development tools on both machines. Also, it seems that this is a common problem. Thanks for your help. Note regarding assistance: I also know of no other resources to help me with resolving this problem.Ihave tried the IRC channel #apache-axis,but it does not seem to have activity (#ws-apache seems to be dead). I am new to both apache and axis, and would like to get going with these. As I am new to both, I am not anxious to build them in debug mode and sort out the reason for these failures for myself. Any advice would be appreciated. [By the way, I live in Redwood City, CA.] Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
RE: v1.5 on XP fails to load mod_axis2.dll
Hmmm, Im using Apache 2.0.54 (installed using apache_2.0.54-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi) and Axis C++ latest version checked out from SVN and built using ant in Windows XP 2002. I have my mod_axis2.dll in APACHE_HOME/modules/ folder and all other env. vars are correctly set. Apache version is as follows C:\Documents and Settings\dchandradasaapache -v Server version: Apache/2.0.54 Server built: Apr 16 2005 14:25:31 httpd.conf file contains the following LoadModule axis_module modules/mod_axis2.dll Location /axis SetHandler axis /Location I didnt get any problem of starting apache and I can browse the axis starting page in the browser. Im wondering why do you get this error.
