Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1059143
Feature request: update httpd to 2.4.7 / backport htaccess API changes
Last modified: 2015-04-14 03:08:38 EDT
Description of problem: MPM-ITK and other modules depend on working working API for htaccess (, that was missing in 2.4 series until fixed in 2.4.7. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.6 Additional info: - MPM-ITK site: http://mpm-itk.sesse.net (Explicitly says only 2.4.7+ will work) - Apache change listed in: http://www.apachelounge.com/Changelog-2.4.html - Symbol changes 2.4.6 -> 2.4.7: http://upstream-tracker.org/compat_reports/httpd/2.4.6_to_2.4.7/abi_compat_report.html, specifically ap_*htaccess components.
I would like to add that I'm ahving the same problem and this is going to affect anyone trying to run httpd-itk from EPEL on a RHEL 7 system. My website is now 100% DOWN because of the incompatibility between the version of Apache supplied in the base 7 install, and the version of httpd-itk on the EPEL site.
Whatever fix was done in 2.4.6-21.el7 does NOT fix httpd-itk. apachectl configtest httpd.itk: Syntax error on line 56 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-base.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_access_compat.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_access_compat.so: undefined symbol: ap_hook_check_access To enable ITK in RHEL 7 we need httpd-2.4.7 (at minimum) along with ITK 2.4.7. This is an absolute show-stopper for me and may force me to go back to RHEL 6.x. I'd be happy to test to get it working properly.
This fix is not released yet and therefore I assume you don't have httpd-2.4.6-21.el7 package. Can you check what is your httpd version using "rpm -q httpd"?
Nigel, or anybody else: please contact Red Hat support and we can get you a test package to try out for this.
Jan, when you said "Fixed In Version: httpd-2.4.6-21.el7" - I assumed that the CentOS git repository would have the httpd-2.4.6-21.el7 with the fix included. I guess I was mistaken.
I tested the RedHat package provided by engineering. It seems to work just fine with MPM-ITK in my basic stability tests with siege. It seems that this issue has been resolved by that package, when can we expect it out in the wild?
Hi, We'd very much like this for the forthcoming FusionForge release, since we now rely on mod_itk. Currently we have to run some crazy Fedora20 backport script :/ Is the new package available somewhere (i.e. to people who don't have a support contract)? What's the current status?
Now is this currently not officially confirmed but I check and in RHEL 7.1 beta the httpd package is -30 and changelog shows that -21 received patch related to this issue, so once RHEL 7.1 is released, there should be a possibility to build MPM-ITK against httpd-devel and hopefully EPEL's ITK package gets upgraded to compile against 2.4 finally (fingers crossed?)
I'm depending on this as well, in the mean time mod_ruid2 along with some new some IfModule statements in my VirtualHost template will tide me over but I'd really prefer to be on mod_itk.

When it will be available in epel7 repos? Could you please provide bodhi update url?
(In reply to Pavel Alexeev (aka Pahan-Hubbitus) from comment #20) > When it will be available in epel7 repos? Could you please provide bodhi > update url? I think it's available in RHEL 7.1, you'll probably need to wait for CentOS 7.1
Hi, In reply to Athmane Madjoudj The mpm-itk is now working in Centos 7.1 Distro/Package details: CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core) httpd Version : 2.4.6 httpd-itk Version : 2.4.7.01
I noticed this came down as an update and seems to be working ok. No problems noticed. rpm -q httpd httpd-itk httpd-2.4.10-7.el7.centos.x86_64 httpd-itk-2.4.7.01-5.el7.x86_64
