Bug 48795 – apache-1.3.29-r1 won't start because of mod_auth_db.so

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Stanek 2004-04-23 08:53:00 UTC]

I have db-4.1 installed on a sparc64 machine.  When I try to start 
Apache 1.3.29-r1 I got this error:
/etc/apache/modules/mod_auth_db.so:
Cannot load /etc/apache/modules/mod_auth_dbm.so into server: /etc/apache/modules/mod_auth_dbm.so: undefined symbol: __db_ndbm_open_4001

It seems that the patch apache-1.3.27_db4_gentoo.patch does not 
support db-4.1.  I would imagine that 4.2 is not supported either, 
but 4.1 is the latest for this architecture.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have db-4.1 installed
2. Install Apache-1.3.29-r1
3. /etc/init.d/apache start

Actual Results:  
Error: Cannot load /etc/apache/modules/mod_auth_dbm.so into server:
/etc/apache/modules/mod_auth_dbm.so: undefined symbol: __db_ndbm_open_4001

Created attachment 29901 [details, diff]
new apache-1.3.27_db4_gentoo.patch

I updated to apache-1.3.27_db4_gentoo.patch to get everything to work.
Now it starts great.

This is due to berkely db changing their specs as usual. Ill add the patch.
