Trouble with RHEL 4 and installing FastCgi

RT Users
1

I’ trying to install and I’m following the step-by-step road book at
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?RHEL4InstallGuide

My problem is with compiling the FastCGI

wget http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi-2.4.2.tar.gz
gunzip mod_fastcgi-2.4.2.tar.gz
tar -xvf mod_fastcgi-2.4.2.tar
cd mod_fastcgi-2.4.2
cp Makefile.AP2 Makefile
edit Makefile:
###Modify for location of apache 2 installation:
top_dir = /etc/httpd
make
make install

when I try to execute “make” a get the error:

"Makefile:12: /etc/httpd/build/special.mk: no such file or directory

Make: *** No rule to make target ‘/etc/build/special.mk’. Stop. "

I have the httpd-devel installed, do I have to do any other step??

Please I need some help on this.

Best regards

Are you positive you have httpd-devel installed? Because the error sounds like its looking for files in the http-devel build directories…

Are you using RHEL4? If not, the httpd directories are in a different place, and you’ll have to alter the top_dir statement of the Makefile.

Try doing a locate special.mk and see where it reports the file to be… it should report it as being in /usr/lib/httpd/build, which is symlinked to /etc/httpd/build…-----Original Message-----

What if the locate special.mk hasn’t found anything?

I’m using RHEL 4, and I executed rpm -qa grep httpd and I got:

httpd-manual-2.0.52-12.ent

httpd-suexec-2.0.52-12.ent

httpd-2.0.52-12.ent

system-config-httpd-1.3.1-1

And from this command a can be sure that the http-devel is installed right?
Or it is not installed?

Never mind that! I’ve successfully installed it (http-devel. :-))!

And I have successfully installed RT!

Thank you all
