Shibboleth Developers

["RL 'Bob' Morgan" <>]

Host shib.cac.washington.edu, running RH 7.3, added gcc3 and associated
libs, curl-ssl-7.9.8-1.

Following instructions from
http://middleware.internet2.edu/shibboleth/docs/deploy-target-beta1.html

For this part:

   1.  Modify the apache script to

         1. Add /opt/shibboleth/lib to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
         variable.

         2. Set the SHIBCONFIG environment variable, to point to the
shibboleth.ini file. (The SHAR uses this variable. If SHIBCONFIG is not
set, the SHAR will specifically look for /etc/shibboleth.ini.)

         3. Start/Stop the SHAR process.

I modified /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd to look like:

  start() {
        echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/shibboleth/lib
        SHIBCONFIG=/opt/shibboleth/etc/shibboleth/shibboleth.ini
        daemon $httpd `moduleargs` $OPTIONS
        daemon /opt/shibboleth/bin/shar
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/httpd
        return $RETVAL
  }

The first time it apparently couldn't find shibboleth.ini, so I added a
symlink from /etc/shibboleth.ini to /opt/shib...

Result after that:

% ./httpd.shib_target start
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 1471 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /opt/shibboleth/libexec/mod_shibrm.so into server:

Trying to load logger configuration:

SHAR is running:

root      4859  0.0  0.1  1616  676 pts/1    S    01:27   0:00 initlog -c

  /opt/shibboleth/bin/shar

but httpd is not, having failed to load mod_shibrm.so.

Line 1471 of httpd.conf is the first line of the stuff from apache.conf:

  LoadModule shibrm_module /opt/shibboleth/libexec/mod_shibrm.so

So, any guesses?
