I’ll take AcceptMutex flock for the WIN!!!

After applying the new Zipit Z2 Userland image created by soundguy, I became interested in trying to get Apache2 running on the Zipit again. I attempted to install apache2 from apt and received this error again: apache2 emerg function not implemented. After some searching, I found out here that this error is related to the Mutex locking system that Apache2 uses, and the error indicates that the mutex method that Apache was using is not supported by the system. From the AcceptMutex documentation on Apache’s site, I found that there are a couple options that you can choose: uslock|pthread|sysvsem|fcntl|flock|os2sem|tpfcore|none|default

So, in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, I specified the mutex method with this line: AcceptMutex flock

I stopped and started apache2: /etc/init.d/apache2 stop | /etc/init.d/apache2 start ===> And it worked!

I now have apache2 webserver running on my Zipit.

Next I’m going to try and get some web apps working on it. More to come…

Posted in Zipit.
