Topic: adding my own module to apache web server

[ashwani_ap]

Hi All,

I want to add my own my own module to apache web server.
Is it possible to do so?
If yes, please tell me how.

[James Blond]

Did you wrote your module yet?
You can use apxs for building it.

Hi,

Yah I am ready with the code for the module.
I downloaded the apxs tool from this site.
I went through readme txt file. I executed the following cmd

perl configure.pl "f:\Apache21

But, it gives following error
Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
I tried by removing the use strict; from the configure.pl but it doesn't server thepurpose. Started giving other errors.

If you have a recent version of Perl, strict.pm should be in your Perl\lib directory. ActiveState Perl v5.8.8 has this module.

Also - you need to use this command per the README file:

Hi,
Thanks for the reply

I installed the same on my sys but now I got new error.

'pl2bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command

This 'pl2bat' is present in the \Perl\bin dir but.......

Thanks in advance..

Are you sure that \Perl\bin is in your PATH environment variable?

This variable should be set by the Perl installation.

Maybe you are still using a command window which was opened before you installed Perl 5.9.8?

re: "After success, I got apxs.bat in the F:\Apache21\bin directory."

Yes - you should have apxs.bat and apxs.pl in the \bin directory.

re:"Perl 5.006 required--this is only version 5.00502, stopped at F:\Apache21\lib/File/Copy.pm line 10."

This sounds like you are running apxs with a different version of Perl than you installed apxs with.
Check your PATH environment variable to be sure it points to the correct \Perl\bin directory.
If you changed versions of Perl, you might want to get the apxs download and install it again.

I installed perl 5.8. It started working.

Hi,

I took the smae thing on w2k3. I got the apxs.bat successfully. But, when I am executing following cmd. I get this err.

C:\apache\bin>apxs.bat -c -i -a -Wc mod_test.c libhttpd.lib libapr-1.lib wsock32.lib
cl /nologo /MD /W3 /O2 /D WIN32 /D _WINDOWS /D NDEBUG -I"C:\apache\include" /c /Fomod_test.lo mod_test.c
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536

does somebody know what is this error. hot to get rid of this.

[tdonovan]

cl is the Visual C++ compiler.

Maybe Visual C++ is not installed on your win2003 system, or the VSVARS32.BAT file was not executed.

Is it a must to install visual C++ on my system?
Microsoft visual studio 2005 is installed on my system. Does it provide this compiler.

Hi,
I am getting this error while executing the cmd

:>apxs.bat -c -i -a -Wc mod_test.c libhttpd.lib libapr-1.lib wsock32.lib

Does any body know what is the problem?

Thanks in adv.
