How do I set up HHVM for a manually compiled apache?

Question

During the updates of Ubuntu 12.04, the HHVM was updated and then asked to run the installation command for the fast_cgi.

However when executing I received the following error:

➜  ~  sudo /usr/share/hhvm/install_fastcgi.sh 
Checking if Apache is installed
WARNING: Couldn't find Apache2 configuration paths, not configuring
Checking if Nginx is installed
Nginx not found

This was because my Apache was compiled manually and installed in a different directory: /etc/apache247/.

How I configure the installer of fast_cgi to find this facility?

Follow part of the script below, for a better understanding (full script):

#!/bin/bash

if [ -f /etc/init.d/hhvm ]
then
        /etc/init.d/hhvm start
fi

#!/bin/bash

apache_check_installed() {
        echo "Checking if Apache is installed"
        if [ \( ! -d /etc/apache2/mods-enabled \) -o \( ! -d /etc/apache2/mods-available \) ]
        then
                echo "WARNING: Couldn't find Apache2 configuration paths, not configuring"
                return 1
        fi
        echo "Detected Apache installation"
        return 0
}

Ubuntu 14.04 [EDIT]

I recently upgraded Ubuntu to version 14.04, and installed Apache/PHP using updated repositories, so I used apt-get even.

That way the HHVM worked smoothly.

But the reason for this question at the time was: how to use HHVM with apache compiled manually, since there is no mods-enabled folder, among others.. the structure is different.

If anyone gives down vote, Please explain the reason, so that I "fix this". After all: I don’t have crystal ball.

Answer 1

Follow a practical step by step:

1. Install the HHVM

   echo deb http://dl.hhvm.com/ubuntu saucy main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hhvm.list
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install hhvm-fastcgi
   

2. Install the Apache2

   apt-get install apache2
   a2enmod proxy
   a2enmd proxy_fcgi
   

3. Install the Fastcgi

   apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi
   a2enmod fastcgi
   update-rc.d hhvm-fastcgi defaults
   

Answer 2

Try to replace this line:

if [ \( ! -d /etc/apache2/mods-enabled \) -o \( ! -d /etc/apache2/mods-available \) ]

For this:

if [ \( ! -d /etc/apache247/mods-enabled \) -o \( ! -d /etc/apache247/mods-available \) ]

The script is not finding the path because you compiled it manually and installed it in another location. Changing the location in the script should solve your problem.
