8.04 TLS and libapache2-mod-gnutls

**kielstrand** · June 25th, 2009

Hi there,

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on one of my servers.
Searching the web and the repository I was not able to find a deb for libapache2-mod-gnutls, there's even no backport.
For the newer versions, the package is available.

Is there anyone who can help?

Thanks
Kai

It is available from the repositories, but it may not be in the standard default ones.

I just did a search (packages.ubuntu.com) which indicates that it is available in: libneon27-gnutls.

Hi,

I just installed libneon27-gnutls but there's still not the needed module in mods-available for apache2.

Any other idears?

Thanks
Kai

Hi,

I've been messing around with this same problem and i just found a possible solution (just installed on a test server and I am doing some tests)

You need to update gnutls version to 2.6.6. This ppa repo has it (https://launchpad.net/~grexk/+archive/ppa):

Code:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/grexk/ppa/ubuntu hardy main 
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/grexk/ppa/ubuntu hardy main

and then install intrepid's version of libapache2-mod-gnutls

Code:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libapache2-mod-gnutls

Cheers

I finally got a chance this last weekend to give this a try. I was able to at the PPA repositories and update the gnutls.

Upon restart of apache, I rceived some sort of malloc error. Searching on the error produced archive mails depicting the bug, but I didn't come across any solutions. Anyone have any ideas?
