Topic: Install httpd_devel

[crapufish]

Hello!

I need to install httpd_devel but it seems I cannot find any suitable rpm to do this.

Anyone managed to install httpd_devel on SME?

Thanks!

I am using SME 7b9 (Apache 2.0.52)

SME server is not a development platform. The developers all use, and recommend, that you use CentOS for development. We also recommend that you search for prebuilt RPMs before trying to build stuff for yourself. Why did you want to install httpd_devel?

Nobody should be using 7b9. Please upgrade, so that you are testing 7.0rc1.

I need apxs2 to be able to compile and install an apache module. Apxs can be found inside httpd_devel and I couldn't find any prebuild rpm or something similar for that module or for httpd_devel.

The module I am talking about is mod_ip_forwarding: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/apache-modules/mod_ip_forwarding/mod_ip_forwarding.html

Thanks!

It seems you are planning to proxy pass some URL, and want to apply access lists based on IP address at the destination web server. Why don't you just apply the access list to the proxy pass?

No, Is not that that I want. I am using 2 web servers: Apache and Tomcat and I need to forward some request to the Tomcat server. I've done this so far, but the problem is I am loosing the visitor's IP. The only work around I found to this problem is to install mod_ip_forwarding which will also forward the Real IP of the visitor and any other information mod_proxy deletes.

Thanks!
