Installing apr-util-mysql on Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.1

Question

I have a server running Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.1 which is basically the same as RedHat Enterprise Linux. Apache is not starting because it says Can't load driver file apr_dbd_mysql.so On my CentOS 7.1 server I was able to fix this by installing apr-util-mysql. I cannot find the same package for OEL7. This package listing shows apr-util but no apr-util-mysql. Where can I find the package for OEL7 that provides apr_dbd_mysql.so?

The apr-util-mysql package provides:

$ ls /usr/lib64/apr-util-1/ apr_dbd_mysql-1.so apr_dbd_mysql.so 

Answer 1

I was able to build the apr-util-mysql RPM from the source RPM.

#!/usr/bin/env bash # The RPM will be rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/apr-util-mysql-1.5.2-6.0.1.el7.x86_64.rpm wget https://oss.oracle.com/ol7/SRPMS-updates/apr-util-1.5.2-6.0.1.el7.src.rpm sudo yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools" sudo yum -y install rpm-build apr-devel libdb-devel expat-devel libuuid-devel postgresql-devel \ unixODBC-devel openldap-devel openssl-devel nss-devel sqlite-devel mysql-devel rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'dist .el7' apr-util-1.5.2-6.0.1.el7.src.rpm
