http://www.unix.com – I have installed apache2 on Solaris machine with the binary. So i dont want to install the same binary across all the systems but only want to copy the lib files and the files which have been updated in this installation process. So in order to get those lib files and then prepare a tar package it will be easier to extract this tar on all machines. Can you please guide me on how to proceed further. So in the installation process, i have run the below. Quote: ./configure, make and make install So if we go to /usr/local/apache2 you can (HowTos)

Stories similar to prepare a tar package

Hi,

Generally we will run Quote:

./configure, make and make install

to install, configure apache 2.x on Solaris machine, but dont want to follow these on the remaining machines.

I want to build the apache binary centrally, so that i can untar the tar file on remaining machines.

We are switching over to using puppet for configuration management of our Linux based systems. We have several 3rd party packages which contain custom binary installers (think JDK) and are using RPM to build them into local-only non-distributed packages.

I'm afraid I've been a bit naughty.

I tried to purge the installation of a broken package, which I understood removed the entire package, configuration files, everything.

When I still couldn't install the package again, I looked at the files in /usr/lib/ and notioced that the packages files were still there.

This is where I did something really silly; I manually deleted directories contai

Hello, Can I copy a binary file while the file is being written to by another process?

Another process (program) “P1” creates and opens (for writing) binary file “ABC” on local disk. Process P1 continuously write into ABC file every couple of seconds, adding 512-byte blocks of data.

rsyslog, compile from source 3 years 33 weeks ago

I run FC10. I needed rsyslog (which is included since FC8 ) to be compiled with a feature (mail output module) that was not in the system version.

I got the rsyslog source (same release as the system version 3.22.1) , did configure, make, make install and ended up with a rsyslog that was able to do what I wanted. Great success! I am happy.

Installing PHP 5.2 from source 3 years 25 weeks ago

I'm trying to install PHP 5.2.11 on my system. I'm running OpenSuSe 11.2. As I cannot find a package that will allow me to install this, I am trying to install it from source.

I already installed Apache2, and MySQL through YaST. I also installed the libxml2 package, and the apache2-devel packages.

I download the php 5.2.11 tar.bz2 file and ran the following.

I'm looking to create a rpm for this tarball and couldn't figure out which files needed to be included in the package after the install. I am used to compiling some code and including the binary output; however, since this is all python and seems to use distutils to install everything is there even bin/executable to include in the package?

I am trying to upgrade PHP 5.2.13 to 5.3.16 in Solaris 9 SPARC box. I have installed many extensions in the current version (5.2.13). The installation of PHP 5.2.13 was through binaries and not through source.
