Re: Problems starting Apache 2.2 with mod_ruby

Ok, Brian and anyone else out there, I appreciate your willingness to  
help, and anyone else who decides to take a look at the tarball.  I  
don't have a website up yet where I can stick it.  Working right now  
to get a fixed IP address, web server, firewall set up, etc.  This is  
one piece, getting mod_ruby working with the web server.

Some notes:

1. I edited the file "/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.9/ 
config.h" to comment out the offending line:

/* #define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64 */

This doesn't appear to break anything since it is defined in the  
system header files.  I suspect the leading "_" is a typo within the  
Ruby 1.8.4 distribution since none of the other macros have the  
leading character.

2. I started with the latest mod_ruby svn source.  There is a file in  
the tarball called "diff-file.list"  This contains an svn diff  
against the base source and the changed files in the mod_ruby tree.   
This may give some hints, but I have scoured it and since there are  
no other errors or warning anywhere else, I feel fairly confident  
that my function translations are correct.  They are all nested within:

#ifdef APACHE2
	apr_new-function_call(....);
#else
	ap_old_function(...);
#endif

3. The module was configured in the following manner:

./configure.rb --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

4. Again, here's the info on my system:

[root@www mod_ruby-1.2.4]# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.4.4/specs
Configured with: ./configure --enable-shared

[root@www mod_ruby-1.2.4]# uname -a

Here's the warning an Apache startup error:

solaris2.9 -I/usr/local/apache2/include   -c mod_ruby.c

httpd: Syntax error on line 106 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/ 
httpd.conf: Can't locate API module structure `mod_ruby' in file /usr/ 
local/apache2/modules/mod_ruby.so: ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: mod_ruby:  
can't find symbol

The compile is clean with the exception of the warning I mentioned  
before.  I suspect the initializer may be the problem as a pointer  
may have changed, but for the life of me, I can't see anything  
wrong.  Another set of eyeballs looking at this is most appreciated.

Cheers,

Mike
