mod_layout

[phantom]

Does anybody know how to set up mod_layout?

What I'm wanting to do is have a header and footer at the top and bottom of each page that is created by a client.

Mod_Layout does just that but if anyone knows another way, that would be great too.

The problem is actually with APXS. cPanel installs Apache to a non default directory so APXS can't find it to query it's version info creating errors when you try to install mod_layout.

Here's how I got it installed...

1) Download and extract the latest version of mod_layout to a temp directory on your server
(http://software.tangent.org/download...out-3.2.tar.gz)

2) Edit the file /usr/sbin/apxs

Look for the lines...

my $CFG_PREFIX = q(/etc/httpd); # substituted via APACI install
my $CFG_SBINDIR = q(/usr/sbin); # substituted via APACI install
my $CFG_INCLUDEDIR = q(/usr/include/apache); # substituted via APACI install
my $CFG_LIBEXECDIR = q(/usr/lib/apache); # substituted via APACI install
my $CFG_SYSCONFDIR = q(/etc/httpd/conf); # substituted via APACI install

And change them to...

my $CFG_PREFIX = q(/usr/local/apache); # substituted via APACI install
my $CFG_SBINDIR = q(/usr/local/apache/bin); # substituted via APACI install
my $CFG_INCLUDEDIR = q(/usr/local/apache/include); # substituted via APACI install
my $CFG_LIBEXECDIR = q(/usr/local/apache/libexec); # substituted via APACI install
my $CFG_SYSCONFDIR = q(/usr/local/apache/conf); # substituted via APACI install


3) Save apxs and return to your mod_layout install directory.

4) make

5) make install

It should install just fine..

I've actually had a good experience removing the apache that comes with redhat first... so there is no /usr/sbin/apxs and /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs being in the path, is found just fine

How do you do that?

[RaveKnights]

I hate to bother, anyone think they could help me a bit here.

My apxs is installed /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs

My apxs shows the right paths but this is what I get when I try to make

`apxs -q CC` -I`apxs -q INCLUDEDIR` `apxs -q CFLAGS` -c mod_layout.c -Wall -DDEBUG
/bin/sh: apxs: command not found
/bin/sh: apxs: command not found
/bin/sh: apxs: command not found
/bin/sh: -I: command not found
make: *** [mod_layout.o] Error 127

apxs command not found in /bin/sh is what I dont get here.

any one know how to work around this?

I would greatly appreciate any input,

Thank You

I want to setup some free hosting, that would include banners...... is it possible to get WHM to configure httpd.conf depending on the package chosen to be installed, to add the mod_layout headers and footers to the virtualhost part? or am i going to have to add it manually each time?

yay i got mod_layout installed ! and i had the same errors as 2 post above me but! i fixed it

[jameshsi]

Sorry to bother you guys, but can someone shows me how to use it ?? Is there some examples or instructions how to make the banners shows for some hosting accounts (not all).

And you don't want to share what you did to fix the problem?

[Optical]

I do all i did was edit the make file, and put in the EXACT paths to apex or what ever it was

[jameshsi]

I have make installed OK. But when I trying to use it, I got segmentation error, anyone knows why ?

BTW, I install it by make a link in /usr/sbin to /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs so that it won't said apxs not found. I don't know if this is OK, but I did pass the make and make install.

[jameshsi]

Although I pass the make, and apache works fine, but when I add :
LayoutFooter /home/xxx/public_html/footer.txt
and restart apache, I see segmentation error.
Why ?
