Requirements for Using Apache Web Server (Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 2005Q2 High Availability Administration Guide)

Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 2005Q2 High Availability Administration Guide

Requirements for Using Apache Web Server

For the Apache Web Server, your installation must meet the minimum requirements, depending on the version of Apache.

Requirements for Apache 1.3

With Apache 1.3, the load balancer plug-in requires:

openssl-0.9.7e (source)
mod_ssl-2.8.16-1.3.x (source), where x represents the version of Apache. The mod_ssl version must match the Apache version.
gcc-3.3-sol9-sparc-local packages (for Solaris SPARC)
gcc-3.3-sol9-intel-local packages (for Solaris x86)
flex-2.5.4a-sol9-sparc-local packages (for Solaris SPARC)
flex-2.5.4a-sol9-intel-local packages (for Solaris x86)

The software sources are available at http://www.sunfreeware.com

In addition, before compiling Apache:
On the Linux platform, install Sun Java System Application Server on the same machine.
On the Solaris operating system, ensure that gcc version 3.3 and make are in the PATH, and flex is installed.
On the Solaris 10 operating system, before running make for OpenSSL, run mkheaders, located in /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3/install-tools on Solaris SPARC or /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.9/3.3/install-tools on Solaris x86.
If you are using gcc on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 2.1, the version must be later than gcc 3.0.

Note –

To use C compiler other than gcc, set the path of the C compiler and make utility in the PATH environment variable. For example, with the sh shell: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:appserver_installdir/lib

Minimum Requirements for Apache 2

With Apache 2.0, the load balancer plug-in requires:

openssl-0.9.7e (source)
httpd-2.0.49 (source)
gcc-3.3-sol9-sparc-local packages (for Solaris SPARC).
gcc-3.3-sol9-intel-local packages (for Solaris x86)
flex-2.5.4a-sol9-sparc-local packages (for Solaris SPARC)
flex-2.5.4a-sol9-intel-local packages (for Solaris x86)

The software sources are available at http://www.sunfreeware.com

If you are using gcc on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 2.1, the version must be later than gcc 3.0.

Note –

To use a C compiler other than gcc, set the path of the C compiler and make utility in the PATH environment variable. For example, with the sh shell:export LD_LIBRARY_PATH= app_server_install_dir/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
