[gentoo-user] Problem installing mod_proxy

[gentoo-user] Problem installing mod_proxy

[Thomas Balthazar]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 965 bytes --]

Hello,

This is my first week with Gentoo.
I'm running Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 on a  x86_64 Intel(R)
Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz.

I have Apache 2.0.58 installed.
I would like to install mod_proxy. I need it.

When I do a emerge --search mod_proxy, all I get is :
*  www-apache/mod_proxy_html [ Masked ]
      Latest version available: 2.5.1
      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Size of files: 8 kB
      Homepage:      http://apache.webthing.com/mod_proxy_html/
      Description:   An Apache2 DSO to rewrite links in html pages behind a
reverse proxy
      License:       GPL-2

So it looks like I cannot install mod_proxy through emerge.

Do I need to recompile Apache?
Or is there another way?

If I need to recompile Apache, how can I know which options where used for
the original installation of Apache? I would like to keep the exact same
config + mod_proxy.

Any help would be much-much-much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Thomas.

Well, I can't find it but I saw this mentioned the other day on one of
the lists.  I think it was the dev list.  They changed the name of it or
something.  You may want to check to see if it is enabled with a USE
option too.  I did a search but I can't remember what it is called so
I'm not sure what to search for.  I'll try to dig some more and let you
know if I find the answer.

May have been in the weekly newsletter too.  I get to much stuff to read.

Hope that helps.

Hei!

It seems to be masked, so i think you just have to unmask it by
adding '=www-apache/mod_proxy_html-2.5.1' to /etc/portage/package.unmask

ws06 ~ # locate mod_proxy
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy.so
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_http.so
/usr/include/apache2/mod_proxy.h

mod_proxy is part of Apache2 core so it's already installed.

I take it you're running an amd64 system, the only version of mod_proxy
for amd64 is keyworded as testing, so you need to add an entry
to /etc/portage/package.keywords to permit portage to install the
testing version. The easiest way to do this is to first emerge flagedit,
then do

flagedit www-apache/mod_proxy_html -- ~amd64

Then you'll be able to emerge mod_proxy.

You haven't really made it clear whether you meant mod_proxy (which as kashani 
said is part of apache itself) or mod_proxy_html. /usr/sbin/apxs2 is part of 
apache-2.x so does the file exist? Please post the output of:

# ls /usr/sbin/apxs2

# emerge -vp apache

If apxs2 exists you may just need `env-update && source /etc/profile`.

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.
What I need is mod_proxy.
I don't even know exactly what mod_proxy_html is and if it can help me.

# ls /usr/sbin/apxs2 :
ls: /usr/sbin/apxs2: No such file or directory
But apxs is available here :
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs

# emerge -vp apache

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

What does this "If apxs2 exists you may just need `env-update && source

Thanks for your help!

So do you have apache in package.provided and package.mask? Why not install it 
through portage?

That was if /usr/sbin/apxs2 existed and you just needed bash to recognize it. 
If you really want to use the apache in /usr/local you can symlink apxs2 from 
there to /usr/sbin.

Why would you expect to see anything in /usr/local/apache?
Portage is the package manager, the package manager doesn't put stuff 
in /usr/local.

The apache installation I was using is a custom one, provided by ovh.com.
I have uninstalled it, and I'll try to install a brand new apache version
with emerge.

Thanks to everybody.

	Looks like you're not using portage to install Apache. Why you aren't 
letting portage do all the dirty work is a mystery, but it's your 
system. However unless you've hacked up your Apache install in a serious 
way mod_proxy is a core part of Apache2 and should be installed. The dir 
you did the listing on appears to be a third party modules directory 
only or it's a statically compiled Apache. I'd try doing a find on your 
filesystem for mod_proxy, mod_dir, or mod_mime which should be part of a 
default Apache2 build or just use portage to install Apache and be done 
with it.

For the record mod_proxy_html rewrites links to work cleanly with 
mod_proxy and is based off the work in mod_accessibility and does not 
actually do any proxying.

The defaults are entirely dependent on your choice of profile. apache2 is 
enabled for server profiles. What you for some weird reason have listed seem 
to match the desktop profiles...

Your analogy is incorrect. I'd suggest reading the Gentoo handbook about
package masking/unmasking. You also should read about USE Flags, so you
can set which flags you'd like to use. As far as I know Apache uses the
following by default: USE="ldap ssl -apache2 -debug -doc -mpm-itk
-mpm-leader -mpm-peruser -mpm-prefork -mpm-threadpool -mpm-worker
(-selinux) -static-modules -threads". Select which you'd prefer. If only
you cared to study a little.

Best regards.

	If only someone had read the full thread or perhaps did some research 
on mod_proxy they might have realized it is part of Apache2 and you 
can't turn it on or off via use flags. If only you cared to study a 
little before berating a new user.

I see. Note that the use flags referred to are for the
net-www/apache-2.0.58-r2. Also it is indeed the desktop profiles. I'm
unaware of whether or not the user in question is on a server or not.
Kindly list the right profiles, Bo.

Best regards.

And how do you expect me to do that? It depends... Otherwise there would have 
been only one profile. The defaults (and even the OPs choice of USE flags) 
are also entirely irrelevant to this topic.

The problem was that the OP (who isn't kashani) had apache in package.provided 
instead of installed through portage. And the apache the OP had provided 
didn't include what he needed. Hence it has also nothing to do with masks and 
the problems with package.provided are barely mentioned in the handbook (if 
at all).

All of this you would have known if you had read the entire thread (which 
happen to be two threads that share the same topic because the OP didn't 
manage to keep it in one).

Thats great, Bo. Thanks for this. We all try to assist.
