Building CouchDB with build_couchDB - apache

I'm attempting to build and run CouchDB following the instructions at https://github.com/jhs/build-couchdb. I am able to build successfully, but when I try to run CouchDB I first receive an error about a bad symbol lookup in a crypto library. Every subsequent time I run it I get the following error:
Apache CouchDB 1.6.0 (LogLevel=info) is starting.
{"init terminating in do_boot",{{badmatch,{error,{bad_return,{{couch_app,start,[normal,["/couchdb/build/etc/couchdb/default.ini","/couchdb/build/etc/couchdb/local.ini"]]},{'EXIT',{{badmatch,{error,{shutdown,{failed_to_start_child,couch_secondary_services,{shutdown,{failed_to_start_child,uuids,{undef,[{crypto,rand_bytes",[]},{couch_uuids,new_prefix,0,[{file,"/couchdb/dependencies/couchdb/src/couchdb/couch_uuids.erl"},{line,84}]},{couch_uuids,state,0,[{file,"/couchdb/dependencies/couchdb/src/couchdb/couch_uuids.erl"},{line,100}]},{couch_uuids,init,1,[{file,"/couchdb/dependencies/couchdb/src/couchdb/couch_uuids.erl"},{line,50}]},{gen_server,init_it,6,[{file,"gen_server.erl"},{line,304}]},{proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3,[{file,"proc_lib.erl"},{line,239}]}]}}}}}}},[{couch_server_sup,start_server,1,[{file,"/couchdb/dependencies/couchdb/src/couchdb/couch_server_sup.erl"},{line,98}]},{application_master,start_it_old,4,[{file,"application_master.erl"},{line,269}]}]}}}}}},[{couch,start,0,[{file,"/couchdb/dependencies/couchdb/src/couchdb/couch.erl"},{line,18}]},{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]}]}}
I installed all of the dependencies listed on the github page as well as the dependencies listed on Apache's installation guide. Additionally, I have rebuilt with the option to not strip down erlang/otp
rake otp_keep="*"
I am running on CentOS 6.6


I ended up not using build-couchdb, but followed the instructions from the Apache wiki on installing couchdb. I had to set permissions as explained on the CouchDB guide, but it all worked out just fine.
This has been the best way I could figure out how to install CouchDB on Redhat/CentOS RHEL5/RHEL6.

How to install mod_auth_openidc on RHEL 7

I've been to the Releases site for mod_auth_openidc and brought down the rpm. And attempting to install requires cjose but attempting to find and install that poses a problem as it seems to incorrectly test the version of jansson (e.g., 2.10 is though to be less than 2.3). Most of the documentation I find is years old. Trying to use yum brings in a very outdated version of the mod_auth_openidc (1.8.8) that fails to allow apache httpd to load if you have an OIDCDirectURL coded.
I'm trying to configure Apache HTTPD to call out to an OAUTH2 Server I've created but I can't get the old mod to work and I'd love to know where I can get the piece parts to allow the latest version to install. There are some old downloads on the Releases site if you page back to 2.0 but the libcjose0 is not an rpm.
Do I need to retrieve the dependencies from their github and build them? If someone has done this already and posted the assets I'm happy to retrieve them. I'm surprised RHEL 7 repos don't have the latest (or newer) versions of the mod_auth_openidc.

The version issue reported when trying to install cjose is a red herring. Based on this site I found I needed to install jansson-devel to get past the errant warning about versions.
Going here allowed me to retrieve a fairly recent version of cjose-0.5.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm which installed without complaints once jansson-devel was installed.
I was then able to install mod_auth_openidc-2.4.9-1.el7.x86_64.rpm from the github repo releases
I am now able to start apache httpd with the OIDCRedirectURI entry in httpd.conf

firestore/google api get_document hangs sporadically with apache

I'm trying to deploy my django project with firebase backend.
But when I try to read document from firestore, document.get() hangs indefinitely. And it happens sporadically. The issue happens only with apache so far. I have tried with nginx, development server and django shell, but no issues. I have checked further into the firebase package and issue is happening at get_document. I couldn't go into further details.
Please find the versions of the packages used
firebase-admin 3.2.0
google-api-core 1.14.3
apache Apache/2.4.29
django 2.2.8
Ubuntu 18.04.3LTS 64bit 4.15.0-58-generic
python 3.6.9
Can you please help me solve the problem? Or could it be an issue with apache and need to raise an issue?
Thanks in advance!

Laravel Valet+ all sites yield "undefined function apcu_fetch()"

I did something stupid and while in the middle of a valet use 7.1 process, I pressed ctrl-C. In an attempt to get everything working since then I uninstalled valet+, did a composer global update, a brew update, valet fix, and valet install yet still every site I visit just spits out "Fatal error: Call to undefined function apcu_fetch() in /Users/n8klatt/.composer/vendor/weprovide/valet-plus/server.php on line 37". Any ideas on how I can get Valet+ working again?
(The initial error after interrupting the valet use 7.1 call was "Unable to determine linked PHP", which I remedied with a brew link --force php#5.6 since 5.6 was what I had been using. That allowed me to proceed with the valet use 7.1 but then all my sites started throwing that apcu_fetch error.)

So you're experiencing 2 problems here:
Call to undefined function apcu_fetch() is most likely caused by having PHP-FPM run your webserver on a different PHP version as your CLI. Makes sure your webserver is running the same version as your CLI. An easy was to check this is adding the PHPINFO within the server.php file and check the result. Often restarting your PC allows old PHP-FPM instances to die.
Unable to determine linked PHP is an error thrown when you're running on a native PHP version which is not installed by brew. In this case valet-plus cannot find the correct version number of your PHP installation and throws this error.
Solutions:
Make sure APCu is installed correctly as mentioned in weprovide/valet-plus#133
Make sure your PHP installation is not faulty as mentioned in weprovide/valet-plus#127
Hope that helps, if not give me a comment.

I had the same problem with php56. But I'm not using valet, after I reinstall the PHP56 with brew, and it added pear and pecl module. I installed apcu (couldn't install apc directly) with pecl channel-update pecl.php.net and pecl install apcu-4.0.11.
After that installation added extension="apcu.so" in php56 .ini file, which points to /usr/local/Cellar/php#5.6/5.6.38/lib/php/20131226/apcu.so where the image does not exist really because it was installed by PECL, so I had to change php56 .ini to apcu extension to match extension=/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20131226/apcu.so where the image file resides for real, and then restart apache and it works.

Apache version 2.2 and security vulnerabilities

A penetration test has recently identified that one of our RHEL(6.7) servers running Apache 2.2.15 is vulnerable on a number of points and needs to be updated to the latest version 2.4. I have run yum update and it says that there are no packages marked for update. I understand that I will need to download the updates manually. There are a few questions I have around the requirement to upgrade Apache.
I am up to date on the 2.2 version tree. Does this mean that any security patches made to version 2.4 will be back patched to version 2.2.X as well?
I am running PHP (version 5.3.3) and MySQL (version 5.1.73) - will these be affected by upgrading the Apache version (Google tells me that there is no problem on both fronts - but I thought I'd ask before I started down this route).
If you experts tell me that I have no other choice but to upgrade, then I'm planning on using the instruction set here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/138899/centos-install-using-yum-apache-2-4
Thank you in advance for your advice.

You could download the 2.4 source code from the Apache site and compile it. There's a setting which will configure for RedHat:
--enable-layout=RedHat
This setting will configure the paths for executables, configuration files, libraries etc in one go.
The following should be a reasonable starting point for a configuration line:
sh ./configure --enable-layout=RedHat --enable-mods-shared=all
then perform a make and make install
Do the same with a newer version of PHP (5.3.29 is available in the "old downloads" section, but try a newer version. Check the changes first though) and your problems should be lessened. Finally, MySQL or MariaDB is available for download and compilation too
Obviously, try all of this on a test machine first and back everything up. Your test machine should be as close as possible to your production machine. If you use something like VirtualBox to try it, you can take a snapshot at each point of the process and rollback if something goes wrong

installing phonegap on windows7 error

I am a web developer and new to Phonegap..
I was trying to install phone gap on my windows 7 machine as per described here
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/3.1.0/guide_cli_index.md.html#The%20Command-line%20Interface
but when i run the following command
cordova platform add android
i am getting the following error
[Error: An error occured during creation of android sub-project.
ERROR : executing command 'ant', make sure you have ant installed and added to y
our path.
]
does this mean that i should install apache ant on my machine ? if so can someone redirect me to right link.
I am also running wampserver on my machine for my other developments..
will installing 'ant' affect on my wamp ?

As described in PhoneGap Getting Started
Finally, you may need to include %ANT_HOME%\bin to your PATH as well. To check to see if this is required, run a command prompt and type ant. If the program can not be found add %ANT_HOME%\bin to the PATH. You may need to specify the full path instead of using the %ANT_HOME% environment variable.
If you need ant for Windows, you may want to download and install it from here

You need ant to add the android platform.
Ant is a java-based build tool.
You can get further informations and download it at http://ant.apache.org.
ant has nothing to do with the apache webserver and doesn't effect your wamp installation. It's another software product provided by the apache foundation.
