Using Apache With RPM Based Systems (Redhat / CentOS / Fedora)

+
+

Available Languages:  en  | + fr 

+
+ + +

While many distributions make Apache httpd available as operating system + supported packages, it can sometimes be desirable to install and use the + canonical version of Apache httpd on these systems, replacing the natively + provided versions of the packages.

+ +

While the Apache httpd project does not currently create binary RPMs + for the various distributions out there, it is easy to build your own + binary RPMs from the canonical Apache httpd tarball.

+ +

This document explains how to build, install, configure and run + Apache httpd 2.4 under Unix systems supporting the RPM packaging format.

+ +
+ +

+
+

Creating a Source RPM

+ + +

The Apache httpd source tarball can be converted into an SRPM as + follows:

+ +

+ rpmbuild -ts httpd-2.4.x.tar.bz2 +

+ +
top
+
+

Building RPMs

+ + +

RPMs can be built directly from the Apache httpd source tarballs using + the following command:

+ +

+ rpmbuild -tb httpd-2.4.x.tar.bz2 +

+ +

Corresponding "-devel" packages will be required to be installed on your + build system prior to building the RPMs, the rpmbuild command + will automatically calculate what RPMs are required and will list any + dependencies that are missing on your system. These "-devel" packages will + not be required after the build is completed, and can be safely removed.

+ +

If successful, the following RPMs will be created:

+ +
+
httpd-2.4.x-1.i686.rpm
+
The core server and basic module set.
+ +
httpd-debuginfo-2.4.x-1.i686.rpm
+
Debugging symbols for the server and all modules.
+ +
httpd-devel-2.4.x-1.i686.rpm
+
Headers and development files for the server.
+ +
httpd-manual-2.4.x-1.i686.rpm
+
The webserver manual.
+ +
httpd-tools-2.4.x-1.i686.rpm
+
Supporting tools for the webserver.
+ +
mod_authnz_ldap-2.4.x-1.i686.rpm
+
mod_ldap and mod_authnz_ldap, with + corresponding dependency on openldap.
+ +
mod_lua-2.4.x-1.i686.rpm
+
mod_lua module, with + corresponding dependency on lua.
+ +
mod_proxy_html-2.4.x-1.i686.rpm
+
mod_proxy_html module, with + corresponding dependency on libxml2.
+ +
mod_socache_dc-2.4.x-1.i686.rpm
+
mod_socache_dc module, with + corresponding dependency on distcache.
+ +
mod_ssl-2.4.x-1.i686.rpm
+
mod_ssl module, with + corresponding dependency on openssl.
+ +
+ +
top
+
+

Installing the Server

+ + +

The httpd RPM is the only RPM necessary to get a basic + server to run. Install it as follows:

+ +

+ rpm -U httpd-2.4.x-1.i686.rpm +

+ +

Self contained modules are included with the server. Modules that + depend on external libraries are provided as separate RPMs to install + if needed.

+ +

+
+

Configuring the Default Instance of Apache httpd

+ + +

The default configuration for the server is installed by default + beneath the /etc/httpd directory, with logs written by + default to /var/log/httpd. The environment for the + webserver is set by default within the optional + /etc/sysconfig/httpd file.

+ +

Start the server as follows:

+ +

+ service httpd restart +

+ +
top
+
+

Configuring Additional Instances of Apache httpd on the Same Machine

+ + +

It is possible to configure additional instances of the Apache + httpd server running independently alongside each other on the same + machine. These instances can have independent configurations, and + can potentially run as separate users if so configured.

+ +

This was done by making the httpd startup script aware of its own + name. This name is then used to find the environment file for the + server, and in turn, the server root of the server instance.

+ +

To create an additional instance called + httpd-additional, follow these steps:

+ +
    +
  • Create a symbolic link to the startup script for the additional + server: + +

    + ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd-additional
    + chkconfig --add httpd-additional +

    + +
    • + +
  • Create an environment file for the server, using the + /etc/sysconfig/httpd file as a template: + +

    + # template from httpd
    + cp /etc/sysconfig/httpd /etc/sysconfig/httpd-additional +

    + +

    + # blank template
    + touch /etc/sysconfig/httpd-additional +

    + + Edit /etc/sysconfig/httpd-additional and pass the + server root of the new server instance within the + OPTIONS environment variable. + +

    + OPTIONS="-d /etc/httpd-additional -f conf/httpd-additional.conf" +

    + +
    • + +
  • Edit the server configuration file + /etc/httpd-additional/conf/httpd-additional.conf to + ensure the correct ports and paths are configured. +
    • + +
  • Start the server as follows: + +

    + service httpd-additional restart +

    + +
    • + +
  • Repeat this process as required for each server instance.
    • +
