Yes. You can upgrade to 1.3.9 and PHP 3.0.14 (and the latest version of
MySQL too if you want!) I've done all 3 without problems.
But you WILL have to recompile httpd from source. If you want to know how to
do it read below:
*DISCLAIMER!* THIS WILL INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY!! DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Backup /usr/sbin/httpd and then you SHOULD be able to roll back to the
Cobalt httpd if needed (by replacing it) I take no responsibility for this
if it goes wrong. I'm only tell you how I got it to work.
You'll need to get the apache 1.3.9 source from http://www.apache.org/ the
php 3.0.14 source from http://www.php.net AND if required the MySQL source
from http://www.mysql.org/
Untar + install MySQL first. IF you have previously installed the RPM's of
MySQL I recommend you DON'T just do a configure;make;make install. I believe
the install paths are different. If you don't require the latest MySQL you
can skip this stage. More help can be found in the README and INSTALL files
(I believe?) that come with MySQL.
Next untar php AND apache. You need to apply the apache + cobalt patch to
this source. I have included it with this e-mail. To run it type:
patch -p0 < apache_1.3.3-cobalt.patch
Because it's for 1.3.3 it won't find the files, so you'll have to type the
paths manually when requested. Substituting 1.3.9 for 1.3.3 should do it.
Also on one patch it WILL fail in one part. This is NOT important. It is
where it changes the httpd version from Apache/1.3.3 to Apache/1.3.3 Cobalt.
If you wondered how to do that look in src/include/httpd.h - Line 422
(keyword BASEVERSION)
Configure apache with:
./configure --prefix=/etc/httpd --sysconfdir=conf
But DON'T compile it!!
Change to the PHP directory and configure with:
./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.9 --enable-trackvars
IF you're not wanting to compile MySQL support into PHP/Apache (As in you
don't have it installed!) then remove the --with-mysql. You NEED to change
the ../apache_1.3.9 to point to the base directory of your apache source
(where you just ran configure)
Then make and make install
This will move the compiled PHP module into your Apache source. Change back
into the apache source directory (where you previously just configured).
You WILL need at this point mod_auth_pam.c I have enclosed it with this
e-mail.
REconfigure Apache again with: (This is all one line!)
./configure --prefix=/etc/httpd --sysconfdir=conf
--activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a
--enable-module=mmap_static --enable-module=log_agent
--enable-module=log_referer --enable-module=mime_magic
--enable-module=info --enable-module=speling
--enable-module=proxy --enable-module=rewrite
--enable-module=auth_anon --enable-module=auth_dbm
--enable-module=auth_db --enable-module=digest
--enable-module=cern_meta --enable-module=expires
--enable-module=headers --enable-module=usertrack
--enable-module=example --enable-module=unique_id
--enable-module=so --add-module=./mod_auth_pam.c
You will need to change the final ./mod_auth_pam.c to whereever you have put
mod_auth_pam.c If you don't include this all hell will break loose when you
try and run apache! (Config file has settings for it!)
After it finishes configuring (!) make it but...
DO NOT MAKE INSTALL APACHE (okay big letters but I wanted to get it across)
In the src directory you will find a new httpd binary! ;-) Move this to
/usr/sbin/httpd (BACKUP THE ORIGINAL FIRST!)
Finally. IF you previously had the PHP module installed. You'll need to edit
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Find the two lines: (they are not together, but are both up the top
somewhere)
LoadModule php3_module /usr/libexec/apache/mod_php3.so
AddModule mod_php3.c
Comment them out by putting a hash (#) before both of them:
#LoadModule php3_module /usr/libexec/apache/mod_php3.so
#AddModule mod_php3.c
In theory that SHOULD do it. Worked for me! ;-) You need to now restart
httpd.
/etc/rc.d/init/httpd.init restart
Watch for any error messages! All should go well! ;-) If it has gone pear
shaped at the worst you should just be able to swap the /usr/sbin/httpd
backup into place and restart httpd again.
Hope that helps! ;-)

Subject: [cobalt-users] Upgrading to Apache 1.3.9 on RaQ2
Has anyone upgraded a RaQ2 to Apache 1.3.9? It is a requirement for PHP
3.0.14 which I need in order to install the PHP Base Library. I want to
know if anyone has successfully upgraded to Apache 1.3.9 on a RaQ2, whether
it was from the source or the binary, where they unpacked the tar file (and
if that's important), and what settings to use.
I have the tar files for PHP and Apache and I've read the online and
built-in documentation, but it's not clear to me. If anyone has been
through this and can point me in the right direction it would really help.
