| APR The APR library provides a set of APIs that map to the underlying O/S and emulate functions if they are not available, making Apache platform-agnostic. PCRE The PCRE library provides more powerful and flexible regex expression functionality than other flavours and is used by mod_rewrite, etc.
|
Apache provides the flexibility to point to existing instances of these when compiling. If you do not have these modules you can add them as follows: First, download the module source files: | Code Block |
|---|
| $ wget http://archive.apache.org/dist/apr/apr-1.6.3.tar.bz2
$ wget http://archive.apache.org/dist/apr/apr-util-1.6.1.tar.bz2
# Apache 2 requires pcre, not pcre2
$ wget --no-check-certificate https://ftp.pcre.org/pub/pcre/pcre-8.41.tar.bz2 |
Extract the source files: | Code Block |
|---|
| # APR and APR utils can be compiled with Apache out of the box provided they are in the srclib directory
$ tar -x[z]vf apr-1.6.3.tar[.gz] --directory /opt/httpd-2.4.x/srclib/apr
$ tar -x[z]vf apr-util-1.6.1.tar[.gz] -- directory /opt/httpd-2.4.x/srclib/apr-util
# PCRE will not be automatically compiled in the srclib directory, so either manipulate the build script or simply keep it separate.
$ tar -x[z]vf pcre-8.41.tar[.gz] |
If you've placed PCRE in its own folder, you will have to build it first: | Code Block |
|---|
| $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/pcre --enable-pcre16 --enable-pcre32
$ make
$ make install |
