Re: Resolving apr dependencies while generating httpd rpm build compiled from source

2014-03-03 Thread Venkatesh Prabu Narayanan
Hi,

Further to my previous mail, I have generated apr rpm build and
successfully installed after installing the dependency packages (autoconf,
libtool, doxygen).

After this I tried installing apr-util 1.5.3 version and it has the
following dependencies,

[root@localhost apr-util]# rpmbuild -ba apr-util.spec
error: Failed build dependencies:
libuuid-devel is needed by apr-util-1.5.3-1.i386

I just commented out all the above dependencies and this time I am getting
segmentation fault while doing rpmbuild as below,

Please let me know what is wrong here. To avoid these issues, I tried to

make use of those.

 @Reindl Harald,

 If I remove that apr files from 'BuildPrereq', it is still showing some

 @Graham,

 In the httpd SPEC file, I could see this line in %build section,


 #forcibly prevent use of bundled apr, apr-util, pcre
 rm -rf srclib/{apr,apr-util,pcre}

 So it seems I can't make use of the bundled apr and apr-util sources.

 From SPEC file, it seems httpd needs apr = 1.4.2, apr-util = 1.3.10. So
 I tried compiling apr from this link, http://archive.apache.org/dist/apr/and 
 it is failing with this error,

 [root@localhost apr]# rpmbuild -tb apr-1.4.2.tar.bz2
 error: Failed build dependencies:

   libtool is needed by apr-1.4.2-1.i386
   doxygen is needed by apr-1.4.2-1.i386


 FYI, My SPEC file configure section has these lines,

 --with-apr=/usr/bin/apr-1-config
 --with-apr-util=/usr/bin/apu-1-config

 I am trying all these for my linux OS RHEL 4. Please note that OS upgrade
 is not an option as of now.

 Please let me know how to fix these errors.

Re: Resolving apr dependencies while generating httpd rpm build compiled from source

2014-03-03 Thread Venkatesh Prabu Narayanan
@Graham,

Most of these dependencies are not available for RHEL 4 via yum and that is
why I have commented it out.

Meanwhile I get apr-util to work with this below package even after
commenting out the devel dependencies from cent OS,

http://vault.centos.org/6.5/os/Source/SPackages/apr-util-1.3.9-3.el6_0.1.src.rpm

I have already compiled apr of version 1.4.8 and now I have created
apr-util of version 1.3.9. Now I can create httpd rpm of version 2.2.24
using these create rpms.

Going to test installing them.. Do you think it is good to proceed with
this ? Or Do you want me to try using latest apr-util ?

Thanks,
Venkatesh

belongs not to http-ddevl at all - really

 @Reindl Harald,
 If I remove that apr files from 'BuildPrereq', it is still showing
 some 'undeclared errors' related to apr-util modules

the intention to remove the build-deps in httpd.spec was for the
case you manage build both from the httpd-source if that is not
possible you just need the build dependencies because APR is
*mandatory* and not optional

In my second thread itself I have mentioned my OS. Please read this,

Also to avoid such issues with apr and apr-util I tried make use of bundled
source with this option '--with-included-apr'. But still not working
atleast for me. Also I didn't find any link stating the reason why default
bundled sources are not encouraged to use.

I have already discussed this thread with 'users' list. As I didn't get
response from users list, I have posted to 'dev' list.

@Graham,

Thanks for your comment. I have already removed the same in 'Require' and
'%files' section. I will also try removing the same from configure section.

mod_proxy: ProxyPass, Location and regex check

2014-03-03 Thread Ewald Dieterich

I try to get

1  Location /?*[]/
2  ProxyPass http://backend/?*[]/;
3  ProxyPassReverse http://backend/?*[]/;
4  /Location

to work and get the error message

AH00526: Syntax error on line 2 of ...:
Regular expression could not be compiled.

I guess that /?*[]/ is a valid location, right? So it should work, I 
guess.


In mod_proxy.c, add_pass(), there is this snippet to detect a regex in 
the location (f is cmd-path, which is the location):


if (cmd-path) {
[...]
if (apr_fnmatch_test(f)) {
use_regex = 1;
}
}

And later:

if (use_regex) {
new-regex = ap_pregcomp(cmd-pool, f, AP_REG_EXTENDED);
if (new-regex == NULL)
return Regular expression could not be compiled.;
[...]
}

I think the reason for this is to handle a regex in a location correctly 
(either LocationMatch ... or Location ~ ...).


Why is apr_fnmatch_test() used to recognize a regex? It only checks for 
*, ? and [] pairs (the comment of apr_fnmatch_test() is misleading: 
Determine if the given pattern is a regular expression.).


Is there a better way to check the location for a regex? I don't think 
so because I can configure a valid non-regex location that looks exactly 
like a regex. Maybe expand struct cmd_parms_struct by a flag that marks 
path as a regex? Then you wouldn't have to guess.


Thoughts? Maybe I'm understanding something wrong?

 Hi all,
 
 Any other comments about the patch? I believe it is simple enough and
 could ease the migration from mod_php to PHP-FPM (and make use of the

 Could you consider adding it? Pretty please :)
 
 To give more background, at Bitnami we have 800.000+ monthly *new*
 installs just for Apache + PHP environments, a growing number of them
 in the cloud. We have daily requests for switching to nginx as the
 default, but we believe Apache 2.4 event MPM + PHP-FPM to be
 equivalent in terms of performance and you get all the other goodness
 of Apache. This is a small change that would make the transition to
 the event MPM on our side significantly easier (long story)

 Hi,
 
 I have an improvement request to suggest but I would like to first 
 provide
 some background to justify it, I apologise for the long email :).
 
 I'm actively using mod_proxy to forward PHP files requests to PHP-FPM. My
 current approach is to use a RewriteRule with the 'P' flag because (in 
 most
 of the cases) it plays nicely with other rules configured by the
 applications I'm configuring, as well as allowing per-Directory
 configurations.
 
 To make it properly work I must assure the proxy RewriteRule must be the
 latest one to be evaluated. The problem is that from time to time I
 encounter corner cases in which the rules previously executed include a 
 [L]
 option that abort the next rules evaluation, skipping the proxy one, 
 making
 Apache serve the PHP text as plain text. This can be solved by tweaking 
 the
 rules but it is a tedious process and is hard to determine all the 
 scenarios
 in which the rewrites could go wrong.
 
 IMHO this is a good idea, a handler is more compatible with .htacess
 files created for
 mod_php and it fits shared hosting env
 
 
 Thinking about my goal with all of this was at the beginning, I realised 
 I
 only wanted a way of configuring a handler for all my PHP files, that in
 this case is PHP-FPM, without having to worry about what happens before 
 the
 resource is going to be served. This made my think about the possibility 
 of
 adding this functionality to mod_proxy itself, allowing defining a proxy
 worker as a handler for certain types of files. Something like:
 
 AddHandler proxy:unix:/path/to/app.sock|fcgi://localhost/ .php
 
 AddHandler might be tricky from security point of view, eg. most of cms 
 software
 usually checks only for last extension before writing uploaded files,
 but this AddHandler will also
 pass test.php.jpeg to php which might execute this
 
 I made a quick POC, it is a really small change and for those in my
 situation it could really simplify the configuration of their apps. Of
 course, I'm open to criticisms and alternative solutions :).
 
 
 The code that adds the new functionality is inserted at the beginning of
 mod_proxy's proxy_handler. The conditions are a little weird because I 
 only
 wanted to check the handler if it is not a proxy request already.

Ah, that '$' may be the ticket.  I'll try that and see if it works.

Given that it works, is there any inherent advantage (security-wise or

Also, if it works, I'll comment at the appropriate place in the docs.

Anyone know how to have the test framework run a script before
it starts the tests, then stop the script when the tests
are done?

I wanted to add some UDS tests to the framework but can't for
the life of me figure out how to do the above...

Note the -start and -stop functionality of the framework.  Is this
script supposed to live for the duration of a test?  Or will this
script coexist next to the running server?  The server can be started
and left there, ready for multiple test invocations even across
machines, so it would be helpful to understand the lifetime and
location of this script (on the test client machine or the test server
host machine.)
