Build Apache2 from souce manually. Install Apache2 and PHP-Fpm offline manually

Directory Structure

1. opt
2. src
3. www

Download or copy apache.

Current Directory ~ src
https://apr.apache.org/download.cgi
sudo wget https://www-eu.apache.org/dist//httpd/httpd-2.4.41.tar.gz

sudo gunzip httpd-2.4.41.tar.gz 
or
gzip -d httpd-2.2.9.tar.gz
tar -xvf httpd-2.4.41.tar

 

First Install Apache2 dependencies

1. APR
2. APR-UTIL
3. Apr-iconv
4. Pcre
5. Libexpat
6. OpenSSL

Now install APR and APR-util and pcre

Download from this site

http://www.pcre.org/

wget https://www-us.apache.org/dist//apr/apr-1.7.0.tar.gz
wget https://www-us.apache.org/dist//apr/apr-util-1.6.1.tar.gz
wget https://www-us.apache.org/dist//apr/apr-iconv-1.2.2.tar.gz
wget https://ftp.pcre.org/pub/pcre/pcre-8.41.tar.gz
wget https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/releases/download/R_2_2_9/expat-2.2.9.tar.gz
wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1.tar.gz

APR and APR-util installation system

APR and APR-UtilMake sure you have APR and APR-Util already installed on your system. If you don’t, or prefer to not use the system-provided versions, download the latest versions of both APR and APR-Util from Apache APR, unpack them into /httpd_source_tree_root/srclib/apr and /httpd_source_tree_root/srclib/apr-util (be sure the directory names do not have version numbers; for example, the APR distribution must be under /httpd_source_tree_root/srclib/apr/) and use ./configure‘s --with-included-apr option. On some platforms, you may have to install the corresponding -dev packages to allow httpd to build against your installed copy of APR and APR-Util.

 

Unzip tar file and configure

gzip -d apr-1.7.0.tar.gz

tar -xvf apr-1.7.0.tar

cd apr

./configure --prefix=/app/system/opt/lib/apr

make && make install

 

For Apr -Util

./configure --prefix=/app/system/opt/lib/apr-util --with-apr=/app/system/opt/lib/apr
make && make install

For Expact

./configure --prefix=/app/system/opt/lib/expat

make && make install

For Pcre

./configure --prefix=/app/system/opt/lib/pcre

make && make install

Other dependencies

Download and install openssl

./configure --prefix=/app/system/opt/lib/openssl

make && make install

Now download and unzip Apache files

Now go to src httpd-2.4.41 directory

cd httpd-2.4.41

./configure --prefix=/app/system/opt/apache2 \
	--enable-rewrite \
	--enable-so \
	--enable-proxy=shared \
	--enable-mods-shared=all \
	--enable-vhost-alias \
	--enable-ssl \
	--enable-session \
	--enable-session-cookie \
	--enable-http \
	--enable-log-config \
	--enable-log-debug \
	--enable-logio \
	--with-apr=/app/system/opt/lib/apr \
	--with-apr-util=/app/system/opt/lib/apr-util/ \
	--with-pcre=/app/system/opt/lib/pcre \
	--with-ssl=/app/system/opt/lib/openssl

make && make install

 

After installation go to

cd /app/system/opt/apache2/bin

./apachectl start

to top

./apachectl stop

 

Resolve known issue : Apache not starting

Config httpd.conf and httpd-vhost.conf

Edit: httpd.conf

nano /app/system/opt/apache2/conf

Change port exclude 1 to 1024 as they are reserved for system sudo user
