mod_rpaf doesn't compile if using Apache 2.4 about engintron HOT 8 CLOSED

You're probably missing some dependencies.

What cPanel & CentOS versions are you using?

from engintron.

Also try this:

• Download the engintron.sh file
• Edit line 46 and replace:
  apxs -i -c -n mod_rpaf-2.0.so mod_rpaf-2.0.c
  with:
  apxs -c mod_rpaf-2.0.c
  apxs -i -a -n mod_rpaf mod_rpaf-2.0.c

Then simply re-run the installer:
$ sh engintron.sh install

Maybe compiling for Apache modules is different in Apache 2.4 that it's in 2.2.

Let me know please.

Hello,

I'm running CentOS 6.5 with cPanel 11.42.1

I'm not missing any dependencies, it's just that Apache 2.4 comes with mod_remoteip built in to replace mod_rpaf. However if someone really wants to use mod_rpaf the solution is to change references to properties beginning with remote_ so that they begin with client_ instead.

You can find numerous forums/blogposts regarding this matter if you google mod_rpaf apache 2.4.

So in this case, it's probably safe to assume that you don't need mod_rpaf at all.

Try commenting line 850 (add a # in front of "install_mod_rpaf").

Then simply re-run the installer:
$ sh engintron.sh install

It appears that cPanel doesn't compile mod_remoteip into Apache 2.4 by default after all.

One can either download mod_remoteip, compile the module and add the necessary config to pre_virtualhost_global.conf, or download the mod_remoteip "Opt Mod" from cPanel in order to make it available in EasyApache

Given the circumstances I believe it's better to create a separate install function for mod_remoteip similar to the one for mod_rpaf (lines 34-85) and during the script installation, find out which Apache version is running on the server, and install as needed.

I will work on this tomorrow and push a commit to the Pull Request I opened earlier, so you can review the changes.

I've already updated the script to include install/remove functions for mod_repoteip.

Please try this and let me know.

Any update on this?

I've tried it on both a Apache v2.2 cPanel server, as well on a v2.4 server and it works fine now 👍
