Compiling Apache 2.0.48 for BEA WebLogic Server on Solaris 9

While attempting to let Apache 2.0.48 and BEA WebLogic Server communicate
peacefully (on a Sun Solaris 9 server) we encounter the following error when
starting Apache:

Syntax error on line 1088 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/lib/mod_wl.so into server: ld.so.1:
...../httpd: fatal: relocation error: file
/usr/local/apache2/lib/mod_wl.so: symbol ap_pstrdup: referenced symbol not
found

A collegue advised to recompile Apache especially to include the ability to
include shared libraries.

The current Apache might have been build using the following instruction:
../configure --enable-so --enable-ssl --enable-mods-shared=all

BEA advises the use of the following options (plugins.pdf document):

--enable-mods-shared=all
--enable-module=so

Should this be the correct syntax to build Apache???

../configure --enable-so --enable-ssl --enable-mods-shared=all --enable-rule=
SHARED_CORE

apachectl -l shows the following output:

Compiled in modules:
core.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_so.c

apachectl -V shows the following output:

Server compiled with....
-D APACHE_MPM_DIR="server/mpm/prefork"
-D APR_HAS_SENDFILE
-D APR_HAS_MMAP
-D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled)
-D APR_USE_PROC_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE
-D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE
-D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
-D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD
-D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS
-D HTTPD_ROOT="/usr/local/apache2"
-D SUEXEC_BIN="/usr/local/apache2/bin/suexec"
-D DEFAULT_PIDLOG="logs/httpd.pid"
-D DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD="logs/apache_runtime_status"
-D DEFAULT_LOCKFILE="logs/accept.lock"
-D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log"
-D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="conf/mime.types"
-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"

Thank you very much for your kind attention. Your suggestions are most
welcome!

With best regards,

Hi Fred!

I have been able to solve this by choosing the "mod_wl_20.so" for the
Apache 2.0 instead of "mod_wl.so". Have a look at:

Good luck
