Topic: Module will not load

[rookie]

Well, I finally got the mod_auth_phpbb module to build locally from the zip Steffen sent. I'm concerned that my .so is 15k vs the 21k found in Steffen's zip. When I try to load the module I built locally, I get an error when Apache starts up. Nothing more verbose than the message that Apache could not load the mod_auth_phpbb module. I don't know if there is more that I have to do, but once I built the module, I dropped it in the apache modules directory and added the configuration info for httpd.conf.

Thanks for any input....

Mine here is also 12K

Do you have libmySQL.dll in your /windows folder ?

Well, libmySQL.dll was not in the /windows directory. I went ahead and copied the dll from the mysql\bin directory and pasted it into /windows. Its complainging of a syntax error where I try to load the module in the conf file. I added what I found in the zip you host on your site...

#LoadModule usertrack_module modules/mod_usertrack.so
#LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so
#LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule auth_phpbb_module modules/mod_auth_phpbb.so

Is the syntax error just a disguise for something else?

When you start Apache with Debug:

httpd.exe -e debug

What is the error message you get ?

I'm running 2.0.55 so I used apache.exe -e debug
Thanks for all the help...

[Steffen]

Sure you are using the mod_auth_phpBB-1.01a-2.0.55-w32 ?

Is there some in the windows event log ?

Well, I was trying to use the one I built vs. the downloaded. I would really like to be able to build it myself. I tried the one I downloaded and now its just looking for a db password, so I think we're getting somewhere. The event logger spit out the following when I tried running apache with my local build:

Generate Activation Context failed for C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\modules\mod_auth_phpbb.so. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.
.

is this because I was building the module on a different box then apache was running on? Only question is how am I able to use the one you built?

thanks

Looking a couple more events in the viewer I saw the following:

Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

[Steffen]

Assembly Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT means that you build in debug mode. It is not allowed to distribute the debug assemblies.


You should build in release mode.

Thanks again Steffen,

I'll see if that works...
