Hi, I migrate weblogic7 to weblogic9 and weblogic9 require
apache2.0.48 above to communicate. I install apache2 to replace
apache 1.3.26(version is httpd-2.0.50-i686-pc-linux-gnu ) on HP
netserver LP1000r, os is redhat linux 7.2 ,kernel is 2.4.7-10smp, cpu
is i686.
actually the apache2 can run on red hat enterprise linux 3.0. can I
run apache2 on redhat linux 7.2? Please give some advice. Thanks a lot!

The

the error I am facing is :
when I start apache server it encounter error. the message is
below

/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd: error while loading shared
libraries: libdb-4.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory.

it is due to the lack of libdb-4.1.so. so i download rpm for this
library. when I install this
rpm , I get the message below.

[root@spearweb04 var]# rpm -i db41-4.1.25-76.1.i686.rpm
warning: Expected size: 1273637 =

warning: Actual size: 197616
error: failed dependencies:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) is needed by db41-4.1.25-76.1
libgcc_s.so.1 is needed by db41-4.1.25-76.1
libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0) is needed by db41-4.1.25-76.1

libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by db41-4.1.25-76.1

this means that I need to update more share library. Can I keep
update the shared library
and make apache 2 working without installing linux enterprise server
3.0.
the machine is the HP netserver LP1000r, and apache 1.3.26 is
running, if I keep updating the os, will apache 1.3.26 affected?

In most cases, you could do without Apache (unless you're having
a significant load on the system, which I guess is not the case;
clustering can also utilise the Apache plugin, but also clustering
you can do w/out Apache). However, if you're serious with your
environment, you should check
http://e-docs.bea.com/platform/suppc...w.html#1122259
.... and I'd guess already by now the work you've put to play with
this has cost more than the license price of the low-end RHEL
distributions (unless you're working on this as a hobby).

If your environment seriously needs Apache, then I'd recommend to
compile the required Apache version yourself.

I think this rpm is not meant for RH7.2 -- even though it may be
technically possible, it is a bad idea to install RPMs not intended
for your specific distribution and version.

If you go to RHEL3, it most possible will not be an update from your
current situation, but a complete reinstall, wiping out the old Apache
and anything else you have on the machine.

Hi, Thank for your answer!

actually I am installing apache httpd-2.0.50-i686-pc-linux-gnu on
redhat linux 7.2
I am facing the issue I already mentioned. I check web site and it
seems redhat linux 8.0. 9 can support httpd-2.0.54.tar.gz . So I plan
to install red hat 9 on the test server
HP netserver LP1000r, then install apache
httpd-2.0.50-i686-pc-linux-gnu .
I have question about what kind of red hat linux version can
support by apache httpd-2.0.50-i686-pc-linux-gnu? can red hat 9
support? I have check apache web site and seem
no infomation to get from.

Thank again for your kind !

xinhai:
we are running 2 apache web server with 8 weblogic server instance
for production
system. apache web server can provide security and static contect
cache for weblogic
server. I think it is better to keep apache server before weblogic,
can you suggest
other option for apache?
