MORE Apache [PHP, MySQL] on Debian

by Malcolm H. Beaulieu

I recently compiled Apache (with PHP, SSL, Perl) on a Debian box (I downloaded all the sources BTW) and it has been running fine, for the most part. The recent discussions reminded me that I had been having problems with the perl part of the build. Whenever a script is executed, I receive a "500 Internal Server Error" with the following in the logs: [DATE] [error] (2)No such file or directory: exec of /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/test-cgi failed [DATE] [error] [client IP] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/test-cgi The script is actually a stripped down version of my original one (pasted at the end of this email). The permissions are a+rx on the file, the path to perl and the file are correct, the directory is the one defined under ScriptAlias in the httpd.conf and the script executes fine from a prompt, ie 'perl test-cgi'. mod_perl didn't complain about anything and compiled correctly. Does anyone have any ideas about what the problem could be? Thanx in advance for your help! -Malcolm =================== BEGIN FILE #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html \n\n"; print "<HTML>\n"; print "<HEAD>\n"; print "</HEAD>\n"; print "<BODY BGCOLOR=WHITE>\n\n"; print "<BR><BR>\n\n"; print "<CENTER><H3>Form Error</H3></CENTER><BR>\n"; print "<H2>\nErrors were encountered in the following fields:\n"; print "</BODY>\n"; print "</HTML>\n"; =================== END FILE

What kind of database driver are you using? You might also need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH Oracle also has some configuration files, but generally, they don't need tweaking. However, they could be useful for turning on logging.

You need to have a whole bunch of oracle's libraries installed on the system you're building on.

Re: Help installing Apache on Debian

> apt-get install libc6-dev After installing libc6-dev the configuration now works. Now I have another problem. I'm trying to configure PHP with Oracle 8i support: ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.27 --enable-track-vars --with-oracle --with-mysql --enable-url-includes and get this error: checking for Oracle-ORACLE support... yes checking Oracle Install-Dir... checking Oracle version... configure: error: Oracle needed libraries not found Do I need Oracle server installed on the same box Apache and php are or could I just install a third party library to support Oracle? I have Oracle 8i installed on a different box running RH 7.2 and I would like to connect to this box through a php webpage from the Debian box. I did a search "installing php with oracle support on debian" and didn't get much on it. Can it be done?

If you want an easy way to install from source, check out apache toolbox.

Red Hat has this all preconfigured in their packages, to my knowledge. I know definately that Apache, PHP, and MySQL are available. I'm not positive about support for Oracle, but I would be surprised if this wasn't available, given Red Hat's relationship with Oracle. -- Charles R.

I would suggest using the official packages in Debian stable, if at all possible. Doing this lets you take advantage of timly security advisories. > How well do these servers run on Debian? > Is there a better distro for them? Not to sound like a broken record, but I think Debian is great, especially for servers which you'd like to set up and "forget" about. > Thanks in advance for all your help and sorry for all the questions > in one post. No problem. I'd recommend looking at the packages page I mentioned in my previous post (http://packages.debian.org/) searching for the servers you'd like to run, and verifying that versions new enough for you are in the stable release. If they're not, I'd still recommend using Debian stable, but rebuilding newer packages (from the unstable tree) for your system. If you need any help with this, feel free to ask. -- Josh Huber
