Apache 2.4 Modules

[ahiggins]

Just looking for general advice/guidance around creating Apache 2.4 modules, i have not been able to get any of the examples I've found on-line to work.

I'm using Debian 9, Apache 2.4, FPC 3.0.4 and Lazarus 1.8.0

Did you read the "FPC and Apache Modules" wiki  page?

yep I've read Apache Modules page but was unable to get the example working, I did use httpd24 etc.

I also found the following
32bit

64bit

still no joy, I have a feeling I'm not loading the module correctly under Apache 2.4

I'll just keep plodding, many thanks for you reply.

I would first check if your module has executable rights when deployed: this is not automatically the case.

@Thaddy I checked the execute permissions and it was set, the error i get when i try to restart Apache is

/usr/sbin$ sudo apache2ctl restart
apache2: Syntax error on line 231 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_hello.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_hello.so: undefined symbol: ap_rputs
Action 'restart' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

i am out of my depth, but all part of the learning process

Right, getting nowhere fast with this one, so went back to the start and double checked everything still no joy. So I removed Apache 2.4 and built 2.2.34 from source and recompiled the example so/dll I've been working with, only changes I made was to use httpd22 rather than httpd24 packages, it worked first time, did this to prove to myself I was following the instructions correctly. I shall do some more digging around Apache 24.4 and the httpd24 packages I sure its going to be something really simple

the rights on the module make no difference - you can chmod 000 mod_hello.so and aoache2 will still load it fine

If you take a look at

https://github.com/graemeg/freepascal/blob/master/packages/httpd24/src/http_protocol.inc

ap_rputs() is commented out. I believe ap_rwrite() or ap_rvputs() is function that you need to write something. Example also use ap_rwrite()
