#13182: Apache2 failure to start due to mod_ssl loading problem under Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: zach@copley.name | Owner: imajes@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.5.0 Resolution: | Keywords: apache2, ssl, mod_ssl, Leopard -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment (by tabithamc@gmail.com): This bug report was initially filed under MacPorts version 1.5.0 but I am adding amendments for: MacPorts 1.6.0 (fresh copy) running on Mac OS X Server 10.5.1 (Leopard Server) and installation of Apache 2.2.6 (the, as of the time I submitted this information, current version attached to the "apache2" MacPort). Per Guido Soranzio, mod_ssl.so most definitely can be built as part of the Apache2 installation process against OpenSSL 0.9.8 (tested on my machine with the MacPort "openssl" which installs OpenSSL version 0.9.8g -- '''not''' the openssl97 port). The sequence for installing per Guido's suggestions which he has tested on his Leopard-based machine and I have tested independently on my machine running Leopard Server are: (1) The apache2 port should first be uninstalled (2) Extract the apache2 source: {{{ # port extract apache2 ---> Fetching apache2 ---> Verifying checksum(s) for apache2 ---> Extracting apache2 }}} (3) Search (recursive grep) where in the source the option "-export- symbols-regex" is defined to confirm the problem that this ticket on Leopard exists: {{{ bash-3.2# grep -r "-export-symbols-regex" /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_www_apache2/ [SNIP] /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_www_apache2/work/httpd-2.2.6/configure: test "x$silent" != "xyes" && echo " setting MOD_SSL_LDADD to \"-export- symbols-regex ssl_module\"" /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_www_apache2/work/httpd-2.2.6/configure: MOD_SSL_LDADD="-export-symbols-regex ssl_module" /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_www_apache2/work/httpd-2.2.6/configure: apr_addto_bugger="-export-symbols-regex ssl_module" [SNIP] }}} (4) Manually patch the apache2 Portfile with regard to the configure script in the section specific to Leopard (Darwin 9) by changing: {{{ platform darwin 9 { depends_build-append port:gawk } }}} to: {{{ platform darwin 9 { depends_build-append port:gawk post-extract { reinplace "s|-export-symbols-regex ssl_module||g" ${worksrcpath}/configure } } }}} (5) Clean the apache2 port: {{{ # port clean apache2 }}} (6) Build and '''install''' the apache2 port: {{{ $ sudo port -v install apache2 }}} Tail of the expected output looks like this —> {{{ ---> Archive apache2-2.2.6_0.powerpc.tgz packaged ---> Archive for apache2 2.2.6_0 packaged ---> Installing apache2 2.2.6_0 ---> Activating apache2 2.2.6_0 ---> Cleaning apache2 ---> Removing workpath for apache2 }}} (7) Read object information from mod_ssl with the otool tool, confirming that mod_ssl was built against the MacPort installation of OpneSSL (such as OpenSSL version 0.9.8g): {{{ $ cd /opt/local/apache2/modules $ otool -L mod_ssl.so }}} Expect output quite similar to if not the same as —> {{{ mod_ssl.so: /opt/local/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8, current version 0.9.8) /opt/local/lib/libcrypto.0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8, current version 0.9.8) /opt/local/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.3) /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 111.0.0) }}} (8) Run apache2 and expect the once mod_ssl.so error regarding symbols to '''vanish''': {{{ $ /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start }}} Thank you to Guido especially for his testing this on his Leopard client system which gave me the opportunity to further test on Leopard Server 10.5.1 -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13182#comment:9> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
