Problem with Installing Apache on FreeBSD

[ajd335]

Hi all,
I am trying to install Apache 2.2 on FreeBSD 7.1.
I have installed the OS and the basic ports needed. when I tried to install apache 2.2 using,

portmaster www/apache22

it gave me an error

 Patching for libiconv-1.11_1
===>  Applying extra patch off
cannot open off: No such file or directory
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/converters/libiconv.

===>>> make failed for converters/libiconv
===>>> Aborting update

===>>> Update for /usr/ports/converters/libiconv failed
===>>> Aborting update

During the process of portmaster , it prompted me to select Apache config questions and Libiconv questions( I have selected Enable "EXTRA-ENCODING" and disabled the other.)

Note: Bash is already installed and I guess BASH needed the libconv and thus it has already installed the libiconv...My guess! ... I also tried to do the "make install clean" for libiconv ( it failed) ...

Any Idea ..?

Thanks..

It sounds like you are missing a file that is required in order to install Apache 2.2 on your system.

I would recommend downloading the Apache 2.2 install package again and following the instructions on how to compile and install Apache.

Frinny, installing from FreeBSD ports is better since all patches and FreeBSD specific switches are applied and its faster/easier.

Are you sure you have libiconv installed? 'portversion -v libiconv'
If so, what happens when you do 'portupgrade libiconv'?

I figured as much but this wasn't included in the instructions ;)

Yeah. I'm a 'man' man.

Hi All,

Thanks for the your replies...

I figured out the problem.... I was trying to install Bash with (static option) which cause the problem. As I mentioned earlier, the static bash was depend on libiconv and thus has installed that. So somehow the apache required libiconv and the one installed by bash was conflicting. So, Now I have installed bash without static option and now it works perfect....


But , I have one more question... I have installed adodb port by

portmaster databases/adodb5

I have also updated the php.ini file with the inlcude_path giving /usr/local/share/adodb. I tried a sample to ran sample php-adodb script on it. But it failed to connect to the server...

So, do we need to modify anything while we are installing adodb port????


Thanks,
