Minimum Requirements for Apache 2

This section describes the minimum requirements to successfully compile Apache 2 web server to run the load balancer plug-in. The Apache source must be compiled and built to run with SSL.

Requirements for UNIX and Linux platforms:

• 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)

In addition, before compiling Apache:

• On the Linux platform, install the 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 /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3/install-tools/mkheaders (Solaris SPARC) or /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.9/3.3/install-tools/mkheaders (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.

• To use another C compiler, set the path of the C compiler and make utility in the PATH environment variable. For example:export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=install-dir/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This example is for sh.
