Topic: mod_proxy_http.so run on apache-2.2-win 32 on win-2008-R2-64

[erictse2]

I am trying to install mod_proxy_http.so and libxml2.dll on apache 2.2 (32 bit) running on windows 2008 R2 64 bit server.

It got the precompiled modules from http://www.apachelounge.com/. When I use the 64 bits, apache told me to use 32 bits (since the apache is 32 bit). When I use the 32 bits, apache fail to load the module.

Can anyone of you have precompiled modules that would work for apache 2.2 win32 on windows 2008 R2 64 bit server?

Thanks
Eric

What error do you get in the Windows Event viewer and/or Apache error log ?

[erictse2]

When I Use 32 modules

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 360 of D:/ASAS/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load D:/ASAS/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/modules/mod_proxy_html.so into server: The specified module could not be found.

When I Use 64 modules
The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 360 of D:/ASAS/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load D:/ASAS/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/modules/mod_proxy_html.so into server: The Apache service named is not a valid Win32 application.


Thanks

Why you try to use a Win64 with a Win32 Apache ?

What 2.2 version of Apache you running ?

Where did you download your Apache 2.2.x ?

Did you follow exactly the instruction in the Readme of mod_proxy_html-3.1.4-win32.zip ? Special attention that you have to load two modules mod_proxy_html.so and mod_xml2enc.so:

Be sure you have installed the Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package x64,
download and install, if you not have it already, from:

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13523


# Install:

Copy mod_proxy_html.so, mod_xml2enc.so to the apache Modules folder
Copy libxml2.dll to the apache Bin folder


# Add to your httpd.conf

LoadModule proxy_html_module modules/mod_proxy_html.so
LoadModule xml2enc_module modules/mod_xml2enc.so

Why you try to use a Win64 with a Win32 Apache ?

I am not the one who decide. But it is a win32 apache in the existing win64 environment. One of the reason may be that apache has to integrate with other software that only support 32 bit version on this window platform

What 2.2 version of Apache you running ?
Apache/2.2.22 (Win32)

Where did you download your Apache 2.2.x ?
httpd-2.2.22-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8t
http://www.apache.org/


Did you follow exactly the instruction in the Readme of mod_proxy_html-3.1.4-win32.zip ? Special attention that you have to load two modules mod_proxy_html.so and mod_xml2enc.so.

I put
Copy mod_proxy_html.so, mod_xml2enc.so to the apache Modules folder
Copy libxml2.dll to the apache Bin folder

Add to httpd.conf

LoadModule proxy_html_module modules/mod_proxy_html.so
LoadModule xml2enc_module modules/mod_xml2enc.so

Include proxy_html.conf

Still cannot find the module when restart

***************

I guess it may need some cross-compiling but I am not 100% sure

Did you as written in the Readme:

Be sure you have installed the Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package x86,
download and install, if you not have it already, from:

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8328


When it not works, try Apache 2.2 from here, it is not advised to use the one from apache.org which is build with VC6 instead of VC10.

Hi

I would also need
mod_proxy_http.so
run on apache-2.2-win 32 on win-2008-R2-64

Can you point out where I can acquire those?

Thanks and regards,
Eric

[Steffen]

That is a standard Apache module.
Un-comment in your httpd.conf:

#LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
