I have been trying to build Apache 2.4.29 from the source files provided
upstream (the Apache foundation doesn't provide binaries for rpm based
systems) by using rpmbuild to compile the source into various binary rpm
files that I can then install into Fedora 27. In doing this the process
identified a number of devel dependencies that needed to be installed.
One of these dependencies was DISTCACHE which does not appear to be in
the Fedora 27 repositories, nor the F26 or F25 repositories, and from
investigation on the net seems to have disappeared some time after F18.
I did find an rpm for distcache for Centos 6 which 'rpm -ivh' indicated
it successfully installed but both yumex and dnf refuse to acknowledge
its existence. To work around this I tried to do an rpmbuild --rebuild
of the distcache source rpm I had downloaded but it failed with a
dependency on SSLeah which I can find in the Fedora repositories either.
After going through all these hassles I was looking in through Yumex for
something else and found an installed package called HTTPD which it
indicates is Version 2.4.29 of the Apache Server. Given the hassles I
mentioned above, how were they worked around to build the httpd binaries?
I've gone down this path because I'm trying to do tutorials on JSF 2.2
development in Eclipse Oxygen, and I have up till now been using Tomcat
as my web server, but Tomcat doesn't appear to have JSF support out of
the box and I have been able to get adding support into Tomcat to work.
Hence I'm now trying to go down the path of using a web server that has
JSF support out of the box, which I believe Apache does, but if this
doesn't prove successful or it is too difficult to interface Apache to
eclipse I could potentially switch to Glassfish.
regards,
Steve
