[cobalt-users] Mod_gzip & Apache 'ap_regexec()'

["Jon" <jjma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since the apache upgrade from sun I have been unable to build the Mod_gzip module although i believe that the apache version is the
same.(1.3.6) What error message I am getting is confusing as it would appear that apache now no longer has the 'ap_regexec()'
regular expression parsing API call in it which was a problem with older versions of apache. I have tried building nmod_gzip using
apxs with this:-

[root@ns2 httpd]# /usr/sbin/apxs -i -a -c /usr/sbin/mod_gzip.c
apxs:Warning: /usr/bin/httpd not found or not executable

cp /usr/sbin/mod_gzip.so /usr/lib/apache/mod_gzip.so
chmod 755 /usr/lib/apache/mod_gzip.so
[activating module `gzip' in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf]

After changing the location of mod_gzip.so and adding some calls, apache is restarted but I get the following error:-

Setting up Web Service: Syntax error on line 35 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/mod_gzip.so into server: /usr/lib/apache/mod_gzip.so: undefined symbol: ap_regexec
/usr/sbin/httpd

Can anyone help/shed some light on what I have to do to incorporate mod_gzip into apache.

Thanks in advance.
