I'm attempting to install a 3.2 version of tomcat in order to achieve virtual hosts in a single JVM. When I try to start apache I get this: "Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 1 of /opt/apache/conf/tomcat-apache.conf: API module structure `jserv_module' in file /opt/apache/libexec/mod_jserv.so is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO?" I thought it might be my installation of apache (which was previously working with the old mod_jserv.so with DSO). I downloaded 1.3.14 and built it, just in case. These are were my exact parameters to the apache build process: ./configure --prefix=/opt/apache --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE --enable-module=so make make install The first mod_jserv.so I tried was the one I downloaded from the 3.2b6 bin/linux/i386/ download directory. Since it didn't work, I feared that it might be the netscape save-file problem, so I downloaded the source for 3.2b6 and built it in the src/native/apache/jserv directory with the following command: /opt/apache/bin/apxs -c *.c -o mod_jserv.so That built a mod_jserv.so file that I put into the /opt/apache/libexec/ directory, and tried again, but no luck. I got the same 'garbled' message again. So I diffed the file I had just built and the one I got from jakarta.apache.org, and they were the same. I went to the user mailing list archive hosted on mikal.org and did some looking around. Someone said to use ld to create the mod_jserv.so file manually from the .o files that are created from the apxs compile. I did that too, and got a mod_jserv.so file that did differ from the one on jakarta.apache.org, but it still provided the exact same error message when I try to start apache. I've debugged as far as I know how without reading through the code and attempting to find a bug. Does anyone have any ideas that would save me the time of scrutinizing the source? :) Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Paul Tiemann
