Problem installing apache-httpd-2.4.23 on OpenBSD 6.0-current

Hi Folks,

I am having a problem installing apache-httpd-2.4.23 in OpenBSD 6.0-current

I grabbed a copy of the 6.0 install iso and put it on an old machine. I'm trying to setup a server to run apache/php/mysql for a project at work. I tried to install apache via pkg_add -v apache-httpd. The output is:

from what I can tell the package wants an older version of libc, libpthread, and libm.

I'm looking for advice from the pros on how to proceed. Should I build my own apache server? Should I upgrade/downgrade the dependent packages?

Thanks in advance,
Brian

I would guess you installed a snapshot but didn't point the PKG_PATH or /etc/pkg.conf to snapshots and it's looking at -release.

Hello and welcome!

It appears to me you have a -current system but are using a -release package path, which is an incorrect provisioning. There are snapshot packages built from time to time for the convenience of -current users.

Package paths are set either by the $PKG_PATH environment variable or by the installpath variable in your pkg.conf(5) file.

---

Please note, -current is the development branch and is a constantly moving target. The snapshot packages mentioned above are built on different systems than the snapshots themselves, by different teams, at a different cadence, and there is no guarantee they will be in sync. -current users who deploy snapshot packages should expect to manually build some packages from time to time, or wait until needed packages are in sync.

You might be a new OpenBSD user. If so, starting with -release is recommended. If you are planning to put the server into production, you can then deploy -stable or apply errata patches as you prefer.

Thanks for the replies. I'll burn a release iso and reinstall and give it another go.

Reinstalling from the release ISO solved the issue. Thanks.
