What does "ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: libexpat.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory" mean?

Hi,

First of all try to run ldconfig. If it does not solve your problem it seems that your installation is incomplete I'll suggest you to reinstall http from the install media again.

Cheers,
K.

For ldd httpd return something please run

which httpd

first and change to the directory where httpd resides.

Cheers,
K.
 

Thank you for the promo response, I will try this in a couple hours when I have access to the server again.

I no longer have the install media.  What pkg would I need to install to remedy this?  Could I just nab it from an iso of solaris 10?

Thank you so much!

Sorry I meant "prompt" response (stupid iPhone autocomplete feature)

Apache2 comes default with solaris. So if you can't find the media you need to build it from the source.
Another optio nsi to install over internet.

You might have the same libraries under :

/usr/local/lib

if you have try to link them to under

/usr/apache2/lib.

Yup I got it the first time and I was suspecting of T9 feature of the mobile device  : )

# which httpd
no httpd in /usr/ccs/bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin

i have a complete backup of the entire server from a few months ago.  are there some files i can just grab from the backup?

So have you recently removed the HTTP. But t seems that you have removed some other libraries. What is that you want know? Get rid of the http altogether or make it operational again ?
 

i was getting errors trying to start apache2

Syntax error on line 59 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
API module structure `authn_anon_module' in file /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_authn_anon.so is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO?
#

whenever i commented out a module the next one hit the same error.  I am not really experienced with solaris at alll.  I ended up running all the commands in the snippet section trying to "reinstall" apache  and fix the issue.

The short answer is I want apache back up hosting websites ASAP =).  I am just not sure what i need to do.

i found my  original http-apache2.xml that i had deleted (replaced it back on server) then ran

bash-3.00# svcs apache2
svcs: Pattern 'apache2' doesn't match any instances
STATE          STIME    FMRI

bash-3.00# svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/network/http-apache2.xml

bash-3.00# svcs apache2
STATE          STIME    FMRI
-              svc:/network/http:apache2

this looks promising

now i am getting this:
[ Oct 21 20:21:00 Enabled. ]
[ Oct 21 20:21:00 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/http-apache2 start") ]
/sbin/sh: /lib/svc/method/http-apache2: not found
[ Oct 21 20:21:00 Method "start" exited with status 1 ]
[ Oct 21 20:21:00 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/http-apache2 start") ]

/sbin/sh: /lib/svc/method/http-apache2: not found
[ Oct 21 20:21:00 Method "start" exited with status 1 ]

Is there a way I can jut start from scratch with apache?

i figured it out... /lib/svc/method/http-apache2 was pointing to the wrong path
