Unfortunately Martin, it seems this version of Debian (6 stable) uses a too recent version of GLIBC.
I still get the same error requiring GLIBC 2.7: [Sat Mar 09 17:48:00 2013] [error] [client 24.200.115.71] /home/reallyho/public_html/cgi-bin/fossil_debian6: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by /home/reallyho/public_html/cgi-bin/fossil_debian6) If this page is correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_C_Library It seems I would need to compile it on Debian 4 or earlier if I want to use Debian. I could use another OS. My two current webhost (Arvixe (USA) and inter-systeme.ca (Qc, Canada)) have really old operating systems having only GLIBC 2.5 installed. I will continue to look at ways to compile fossil with GLIBC 2.5 a bit or try to find a new webhost having a more recent OS in the near future.

But I get the same error as with version 1.23+ about GLIBC 2.7.

I tried your version, but can't tell if I'm closer or not to succeeding. I got the following error: [Sat Mar 09 15:37:07 2013] [error] [client 24.200.115.71] /home/reallyho/public_html/cgi-bin/fossil-simon: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I wouldn't need SSL for my Fossil. Could these functions and related components be disabled from compilation? I didn't have this error with version 1.22 (which worked), 1.23, 1.24 or 1.25. From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Unable to install fossil 1.23+ on my webhost Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2013 14:42:04 -0500 Hello, I don't have ssh access to my webhost and I can't compile fossil sources directly on their servers. An admin gave me the result of the command: root@alexandre [~]# uname -a Linux alexandre.inter-systeme.net 2.6.18-308.24.1.el5PAE #1 SMP Tue Dec 4 18:28:32 EST 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux It seems like a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 with some added components and GLIBC 2.5 installed. I'm really a novice with Linux and I would really appreciate it you could try to compile version 1.25 or the latest available in the sources on a machine with those specs if you have one available. I'll try to see what I can do myself. Konstantin's idea is a good one and I might try a VM. It is really a challenge for me. Thanks a lot. From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Unable to install fossil 1.23+ on my webhost Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2013 03:29:06 -0500 I think I found the problem. I'm getting the following error when I try to visit a fossil with version 1.23 and the config I mentioned earlier: [Sat Mar 09 03:08:46 2013] [error] [client 24.200.115.71] /home/reallyho/public_html/cgi-bin/fossil_20120808: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by /home/reallyho/public_html/cgi-bin/fossil_20120808) I read some threads in the mailing list and some seems to mention that I could need to compile a binary of Fossil myself or try packaging an RPM. I'm really not that good in Linux as I'm more a Windows Developer and I don't really know where to start. I would appreciate any help. Thanks a lot. From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Unable to install fossil 1.23+ on my webhost Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2013 02:57:29 -0500 Hello, I installed Fossil version 1.22 easily on my shared web host, but I'm unable to install any version higher than this one. My CGI script is simple: #!/home/reallyho/public_html/cgi-bin/fossil repository: /home/reallyho/public_html/rhs.fossil I set these permissions on Fossil files (it might be too much?): CGI: rhs.cgi 755 (in /home/reallyho/public_html/) Repo: rhs.fossil 755 (in /home/reallyho/public_html/) Fossil: fossil 755 (in /home/reallyho/public_html/cgi-bin/) I also adjusted my .htaccess file to: <FilesMatch "\.(htaccess|fossil)$"> Deny from all </FilesMatch> I'm really a novice with Linux, but my hosting seems quite standard. Here are what my CPanel gives as specs: Apache version 2.2.22 PHP version 5.3.15 MySQL version 5.1.66-cll Architecture i686 Operating system linux Perl version 5.8.8 Kernel version 2.6.18-308.11.1.el5PAE My phpinfo is available here if it might help: http://reallyhotstuff.com/phpinfo.php A working Fossil with version 1.22 is here: http://reallyhotstuff.com/rhs.cgi/index I get an error 500 whenever I try the same configuration with an earlier version (1.23 onward). I would really like to be able to install the latest Fossil version on this webhost. Is there a configuration change I'm missing? What do you recommend I try? If you need more information I'll gladly try to give it. Thanks a lot for your help.
