Issue/Introduction

When executing httpd -v , it returns the following error:

[root@<hostname> bin]# httpd -V
bash: httpd: command not found ...

When executing ./httpd -v , it returns the following error:

[root@<hostname> bin]# ./httpd -V
./httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libaprutil-1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Using ldd to check on the httpd binary also reports dependencies not found:

[root@mymachine bin]# ldd ./httpd
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00d12000)
        libpcre.so.1 => not found
        libaprutil-1.so.0 => not found
        libexpat.so.0 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x00e7d000)
        libapr-1.so.0 => not found
        libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x00884000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00745000)
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x0084e000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x006e3000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x0078e000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0095c000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56605000)
        libfreebl3.so => /lib/libfreebl3.so (0x00db8000)

This issue occurs even if 'httpd -V' is run directly from the Apache /bin directory

Default: <Install_Dir>/CA/secure-proxy/httpd/bin/

 

 

Environment

PRODUCT: Siteminder

COMPONENT: Access Gateway

VERSION: Any

OPERATING SYSTEM: Linux

 

Cause

'httpd -V' is the incorrect syntax.  The command should be './httpd -V'.  However, before you can run './httpd -V' you must first set the Siteminder Access Gateway environment variables.

Resolution

Using 'apachectl' to Determine the Version of Apache HTTP Server running on Siteminder Access Gateway

NOTE: 'apachectl' does not require that you set the Siteminder environment variables in order to run correctly.

1) Change to the following directory

<Install_Dir>/CA/secure-proxy/httpd/bin/

<Install_Dir> = Root drive and path to the Siteminder Access Gateway installation

Default: /opt/CA/secure-proxy/

2) Run the following command:

./apachectl -V

Using 'httpd' to Determine the Version of Apache HTTP Server running on Siteminder Access Gateway

1) Set the Siteminder Access Gateway Environment Variables 

a) Change to the following directory

<Install_Dir>/CA/secure-proxy/

<Install_Dir> = Root drive and path to the Siteminder Access Gateway installation

Default: /opt/CA/secure-proxy/

b) Run the Access Gateway Environment Variable Script:

. ./ca_sps_env.sh

2) Change to the Apache HTTP Server Installation Directory

<Install_Dir>/CA/secure-proxy/httpd/bin

3) Run the following command:

./httpd -V

 

RESULT: You should get output similar to the following:
