Ian WinterRecompile Apache 1.3.x connector
If you're running Apache 1.3.x and Coldfusion 7 you might have had errors when starting apache about needing to compile it using DEAPI.
[warn] Loaded DSO /opt/coldfusionmx/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun.so uses
plain Apache 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI!
(please recompile it with -DEAPI).
The original Adobe technote 18748 worked with CF6 as I've followed it before, but, with CF7 once compile and you try and start apache you get a crazy hex error, like this:
Cannot load /opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/servers/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun.so into
server: /opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/servers/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun.so: undefined symbol: hexstrtol
A quick google found this site with a script on how to do it. Now one note on the guide is he's building a mod_jrun20.so file for apache 2, quick vi to change them all to mod_jrun.so and you're all good.
So, big thanks to that guy for posting his script. Mine is included below for reference.
#!/bin/bash
export CFMX=/opt/coldfusionmx7
export APACHE_PATH=/usr/local/apache
export APACHE_BIN=$APACHE_PATH/bin
#CFMX connector path eg $CFMX/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1
export CFMX_CONNECTOR=$CFMX/lib/wsconfig/1
#stop apache
$APACHE_BIN/apachectl stop
${APACHE_BIN}/apxs -c -Wc,-w -n jrun -S LIBEXECDIR=${CFMX_CONNECTOR} mod_jrun.c \
jrun_maptable_impl.c jrun_property.c jrun_session.c platform.c \
jrun_utils.c jrun_mutex.c jrun_proxy.c jrun_ssl.c
${APACHE_BIN}/apxs -i -n jrun -S LIBEXECDIR=${CFMX_CONNECTOR} mod_jrun.la
strip $CFMX_CONNECTOR/mod_jrun.so
export CFMX=/opt/coldfusionmx7
export APACHE_PATH=/usr/local/apache
export APACHE_BIN=$APACHE_PATH/bin
#CFMX connector path eg $CFMX/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1
export CFMX_CONNECTOR=$CFMX/lib/wsconfig/1
#stop apache
$APACHE_BIN/apachectl stop
${APACHE_BIN}/apxs -c -Wc,-w -n jrun -S LIBEXECDIR=${CFMX_CONNECTOR} mod_jrun.c \
jrun_maptable_impl.c jrun_property.c jrun_session.c platform.c \
jrun_utils.c jrun_mutex.c jrun_proxy.c jrun_ssl.c
${APACHE_BIN}/apxs -i -n jrun -S LIBEXECDIR=${CFMX_CONNECTOR} mod_jrun.la
strip $CFMX_CONNECTOR/mod_jrun.so
Mine did error saying:
apxs:Error: file mod_jrun.la is not a DSO
but it all works.
