Apache2 is missing apxs2

[scottrcaldwell]

I'm configuring an Ubuntu server that's running x64 9.1. I installed the LAMP stack during the os installation and now I need to build an apache2 module. It appears as though apxs is missing. I've installed apache2-threaded-dev but am still missing apxs2.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott

Hi,

could you run a

dpkg -l |grep apache2

and give us the output?

Thanks

You're welcome

As you have installed the non-threaded-MPM-apache (prefork), the apxs you need is part of the apache2-prefork-dev package, not of apache2-threaded-dev.
apache2-threaded-dev is for the apache running with a multi-threaded MPM (worker).

sudo apt-get remove apache2-threaded-dev
sudo apt-get install apache2-prefork-dev

should fix your problem.

Kind regards,
Ilalmi

Ilalmi,

Good catch! That did the trick. Now let's see if I can get Railo running...


Thanks,
