easyapache fails to build

[dracus]

Hello everyone,

I am new to this world, and after throughly borking several servers using easyapache I have nearly given up hope it actually works. I did at least learn the verbose option, and the if build fails keep it etc. I am attempting to build apache so that I can do two thing run scuttle, and some custom site software. The custom software doesn't require anything special gd, curl, ttf, basic stuff. Looks like the scuttle requires some different stuff(gettext, mbstring)

Anyway long story short, all attempts at compiling apache/php have resulted in a broken system. Thanks to the nice people at cpanel, I have a working system (minus a couple modules I need).

I attempted a build of apache..here is the verbose output at the end.

Everything else before seems fine. Here is the current working config from phpinfo

./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--prefix=/usr/local' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysqli' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--enable-discard-path' '--with-pear' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-zlib'

Any assitstance in overcoming those above errors would be greately apreciated.

What cPanel build are you running?

E529

I was running E529.

I ended up rebuilding php from command line and now everything is working fine now. The problem seems to be related to easyapche's inablity to rebuild php.

Being a complete newbie here, I had no idea that rebuilding php from scratch was so simple.

1. download php source
2. untar files
3. ./configure with the required sitiches
4. make
5. make install

All done
