This mail is not a bug report. I read details of the latest Apache
version and I was a little bit sad. Apache HTTP server 1.3.0 and
above will not explicitly support operating system Ultrix.

Ultrix ranks among "old" operating systems. It has not implemented
modern features (for example dynamic linking). In addition to this
it has many broken things (shell, some kernel API, compiler ...).
On the other side it is proprietary operating system running on
hardware from the same vendor. We have several UNIXes
(Digital UNIX 4.0X, SCO Open Server 5.0X, SCO Open Desktop 3.0,
RedHat Linux 5.0). Ultrix platform seems to me more stable than
Linux or even SCO Open Server/Desktop.

Anyway, I have built and installed Apache HTTP server 1.3.0 under
Ultrix 4.4 without any problems. Apache httpd is working greatly,
I have not encountered any problem so far.

Building Apache 1.3.0 under Ultrix 4.4
- -------------------------------------

To build Apache under Ultrix 4.4, /bin/sh5 must be used instead of
/bin/sh (since Ultrix has broken shell /bin/sh) during configuration
procedure.

Configuration of Apache could be done by means of command:

$ CFLAGS=-O2 sh5 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache
- --disable-rule=SHARED_CORE

After makefiles and other necessary files are created, Makefile in
the root of Apache installation directory must be edited (again
because of broken shell).

These lines ------->

install:

            $(MAKE) -f $(MKF) $(MFLAGS) $(MFWD) build; \
        fi

should be replaced by lines: -------->

install:

            : \
        else \
            $(MAKE) -f $(MKF) $(MFLAGS) $(MFWD) build; \
        fi

and that's all.

It is possible to build and install Apache now:
$ make
$ make install

Good luck.

Did you try with ksh or perhaps bash?

I have just compiled and installed Apache 1.3 on my Ultrix 4.5
Decstation with no significant problems. Also mod_perl
is installed and works fine.

I run bash as my shell and use gcc.

Hi,

I've finally managed to locate installation instructions but when I
apply the patch to apache:

$ patch -pl -i SSLpatch
patch: **** strip count `l' is not a number

Since I'm using RedHat 5.1 I've added -lcrypt to both the patch and the
Configuration file in the src dir.

I'm not familiar with these type of scripts, can someone please tell me
where the solution lies?

Thanks!

Hi,

Anyone who can tell me where I point to the 'SSLeay source tree', and
what settings are available for SSL_BASE?

7. Proceed with standard Apache configuration. Note that you'll need to
set
SSL_* to appropriate values. If you point to the SSLeay source tree,
then
you'll only need to set SSL_BASE.

So far I've got very little familiarity with how to implement SSL. I
know what it is and how to use it once I get it. It's just the getting
there.

I'm missing that overview that shows the parts and how they mesh
together conceptually. Then I can persue each point in the proper
sequence. So far I've mostly found technical details (which are great)
but does assume an overall knowledge is there. I would even volunteer to
write the man pages so that others could get to it easily.

Thanks,

Steve
