The website links to https://dlcdn.apache.org//apr/apr-1.7.4.tar.bz2 which uses a CDN rather than a network of mirror. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
Re: [users@httpd] Error in APR files
Thanks Frank. What I did was: wget https://apr.apache.org/download.cgi/apr-1.7.4.tar.bz2 which is more or less how I got the Apache source. But I will use the package that comes with the distro. Seems to be the normal way to get it from the responses I got. thanks for your help.

Re: [users@httpd] Error in APR files
Compiling from source isn't the best path, if you're referencing the other users@ post, no. You should use your distro's packages, unless you need a very specific version. That being said, the files from the main link are fine. It sounds like you saved the web page: https://apr.apache.org/download.cgi On Sun, May 7, 2023 at 1:02 AM John Iliffe wrote: > I decided to install Apache by compiling from source since this is the way > I > have always done it in the past and as noted in one response, it is nice > to know > exactly what you are running. > > I ran into the rather odd result that the Apache APR files are not valid. > Specifically, I downloaded the apr files from the Apache web site: > > file apr-1.7.4.tar.bz2 > apr-1.7.4.tar.bz2: HTML document, ASCII text, with very long lines > file apr-1.7.4.tar.gz > apr-1.7.4.tar.gz: HTML document, ASCII text, with very long lines > > Where can I get valid files for APR? > > Regards, > > John > = > > > - > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org > >
