*1. What did you understand?
 +
 +
This lab was pretty straightforwards. It basically just involved installing packages and modifying conf files, both tasks with which I'm quite experienced and have a good understanding.
 +
 +
*2. What did you find difficult?
 +
 +
Nothing was really 'difficult', per se. Having to add a kernel module ('accf_http') to get Apache working was somewhat unexpected, but a solution was quickly found using a Google search.
 +
 +
*3. Write the steps to install mod_python and mod_perl on Apache.
 +
 +
1. Install the required software using the following command: 'cd /usr/ports/www/apache22 && make install distclean && cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 && make install distclean && cd /usr/ports/www/mod_perl2 && make install distclean'. When promped to provide options for PHP, select the box to build the Apache module.
 +
 +
2. Add your hostname to the 127.0.0.1 line in /ets/hosts.
 +
 +
3. Add these lines to /etc/rc.conf:
 +
 +
hostname="lab.bombshelter13.dyndns.org" to rc.conf
 +
apache22_enable="YES"
 +
 +
4. Configure apache. Near the start of /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf, add: 'Servername "<your hostname here>"'. At the end of the 'LoadModule' section, add the line: 'LoadModule perl_module libexec/apache22/mod_perl.so'. Find the 'DirectoryIndex' line, and add 'index.php' to the end of it. Near the bottom of the conf file, add these lines:
 +
 +
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
 +
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
 +
   
 +
5. Add the line 'accf_http_load="YES"' to /boot/loader.conf.
 +
 +
6. Copy /usr/local/etc/php.ini-recommended to /usr/local/etc/php.ini.
 +
 +
7. Reboot, and you should have a working Apache installation with PHP and mod_perl.

I followed the instructions in the book to install php5 and did not had any problems. Following are the steps to install mod_python and mod_perl

Installing mod_python:

  1. cd /usr/ports/www/mod_python3
  2. make install
  3. make clean

Once the installation process is completed, it is time to integrate mod_python with Apache. So open the Apache config file and look for the part where you see all 'LoadModule' lines:

  1. vim /usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

and add this line:

LoadModule python_module libexec/apache2/mod_python.so

Installing mod_perl:

  1. cd /usr/ports/www/mod_perl2
  2. make
  3. make install
  4. make clean

Once the installation process is completed, it is time to integrate mod_perl with Apache. So open the Apache config file and look for the part where you see all 'LoadModule' lines:

  1. vim /usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

and add this line:

LoadModule perl_module libexec/apache2/mod_perl.so

Installing php5

I have tried to install the php5 as described in lab instructions.

#/usr/ports/lang/php5/make install clean

It gives me the error message during installation OR Some time my FreeBSD virtual machine Crashes during installation. I am using Virtual box.I have tried installing new FreeBSD with standard option. It crashes at first time. Any hint, suggestions to this problem would be really appreciated.

The error message i got is.. can't cd to /usr/ports/devel/autoconfig262/work/autoconfig-2.62:No such file or directory patch patch-autoconf.texi fail to apply cleanly.

Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf262.

Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/lang/php5.

Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/lang/php5.

Alternative

I have installed PHP5 with Pkg_add method

pkg_add -r php5

PHP configuration

A) Edit Apache configuration file for PHP Configuration.

Step1: Edit the httpd.conf file make Apache aware that PHP is installed.

vi usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf

Step2: Put the following code in httpd.conf, near the DirectoryIndex

<IfModule dir_module>
  DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
</IfModule>


Step 3: Insert the the following lines towards the end of the file

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Step 4: Copy php.ini-recommended to php.ini

cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini-recommended /usr/local/etc/php.ini

B) Configure php.ini to save its sessions

Step1: Edit php.ini so PHP knows where to put its session files

vi usr/local/etc/php.ini

Step2: Uncomment the following line

session.save_path = "/tmp"


C)Testing PHP Configuration

Step1: It is Just displaying the file contents.I think its not running it. Means the command

elinks http://127.0.0.1/phpinfo.php  

Just show me the following output

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Any help/suggestions are welcome

Finally Done it

As described before i got the following error messages while installing from ports.

can't cd to /usr/ports/devel/autoconfig262/work/autoconfig-2.62:No such file or directory
patch patch-autoconf.texi fail to apply cleanly.
Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf262.

I again looked at those error messages. I installed the package autoconfig262 (i dont know why we need this package. At least we need this package to install PHP5. So i did it with pkg_add -r autoconfig262 and again tried php5 with ports methods and every thing is fine.

PHP5 and Apache are fine. Great!.

Installing mod_perl is easy, I just use command "pkg_add -r mod_perl". But I cannot use this method to install mod_python. The steps as below are my installing mod_pyhton method:

Firstly, I installed python.

cd /usr/ports/lang/python25

make install clean

rehash

The second, I installed mod_python

cd /usr/ports/distfiles

fetch http://apache.justdn.org/httpd/modpython/mod_python-3.2.10.tgz

tar zxvf mod_python-3.2.10.tgz

cd mod_python-3.2.10

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.5

make

make install

The third step, modified httpd.conf file and added the following line into group LoadModule

LoadModule python_module libexec/apache22/mod_python.so

Finally, I tested it, and it is OK.
