If you have tried to compile mod_auth_mysql for Apache 2.2.x, you may have noticed that it gives quite a few non-descript compile errors and exits with an even more non-descript and non-helpful error message from apxs.

In order for the module to compile, you must patch the source so that it will be compatible with Apache 2.2.x. The following instructions include locations for the source package and patches for mod_auth_mysql 3.0. I will try to get the patch rewritten for 3.2 in the near future!

Apache/Subversion are both copiled from source on this machine because of the need for mod_dav_lock. Apr, and apr-util needed to be upgraded to allow both of these to compile:

apr:

./configure && make && make install

apr-util

./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr && make && make install

To setup the new www servers, follow the normal build procedure for RHEL4 machine in RTFM, then I follow this:

************* Install Apache **********
up2date -i httpd httpd-devel mod_ssl
Have it start on boot
chkconfig --level 345 httpd on

***************** install ftp server *****
up2date -i vsftpd
start it... no configuration needed.
Have it start on boot 'chkconfig --level 345 vsftpd on'
