Re: apxs

[John Raines <raine001@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks. 

I'm using ssh from my mac to connect to the RPi. Being unable to find apxs with some groping about, I typed

pi@raspberrypi / $ ls -R

and, of course, got a huge listing of files in various directories.  Then using the Terminal's 'find' command I searched for apxs. That was not found. Yet the link I cited says if I have mod_so it should be there??

Also I understood the lines

apxs -g [ -S name=value ] -n modname

apxs -q [ -S name=value ] query ...

apxs -c [ -S name=value ] [ -o dsofile ] [ -I incdir ] [ -D name=value ] [ -L libdir ] [ -l libname ] [ -Wc,compiler-flags ] [ -Wl,linker-flags ] files ...

apxs -i [ -S name=value ] [ -n modname ] [ -a ] [ -A ] dso-file ...

apxs -e [ -S name=value ] [ -n modname ] [ -a ] [ -A ] dso-file ...

to mean that apxs could be typed at the command line.

It is not a system binary it is located under bin directory of your apache install location. On my system (apache compiled from source) for example is under /usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs. Use the full path to apxs when using it.

years ago I built a little website using mod_python. Recently I got a Raspberry pi and have been looking at redoing that website. My expectation is that I won't be able to make mod_python work but since it would be a lot less work to use it I thought I should take a look.

The installation instructions require me to reference apxs. I could not find that on the installation on the RPi but looking at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/apxs.html it still seems to exist. The instructions there say I should have it if I have mod_so.

I am very inexperienced at this and what experience I have is 7 or 8 years ago and my recollections are pretty fuzzy. 

Only some of us can learn from other people’s mistakes.
The rest of us have to be the other people.
